circle back

there's a lightning flash
as you turn your back
walking away from me
cause I'm not on your path
I knew it would be like this
from the initial electrical crack

you never promised me
that you were here to stay
no obligations from you
from the very first day
said you'd stay awhile
till you have to go away

always trying my best
to give what you need
a competitive spirit
that could not succeed
all that's remaing now
is a soul that's depleted

I hope you get it all
all you're searching for
you may be circling back
and returning for more
I may not be able to
reopen that closed door
