So distant
But still
Hauntingly clear
The old hallways
With their pale yellow brick walls
Stand silent now
It doesn't seem
So grand
As it use to
My eyes burn with tears
Memories come back
Like tidal waves
So much changed
It's different now
Then from back then
The days I've spent
Under the sun
Playing
Can never be again
Years go by
Like days
Slipping away
And there is nothing
I can do
Sometimes
I want to cry
When I stop to think
Of my optimistic childhood
And all those
School days
