Tap, tap, tap, pause.
Aww...Why did you stop?
Tap, tap, tap, pause.
Ahh, right there, thanks! ..Wait, where are you going?
Oh well...It was fun while it lasted...Now I just sit here.
Alone, unloved...Cold.
The only sound being my brain, humming with thought as the chill increases.
Oh, please, come back! What did I do wrong!? Why did I drive you away from me?
...Please...I...need you…wait.
Finally I get it. You didn’t need me because you wanted me,
You needed me to further your own goals, to succeed.
You used me. I am just your tool, is that it?
Is that all you ever thought of me?
Hmph. You ingrate. You pompous jackarse.
You...Infuriate me.
You grind my gears…
...You push my buttons.
