I was the best
the top of the line
but you don’t need coins to play me.
Stacked high on the shelf
and then I landed in your arms
you took me home
and showed me love I’d never known
it almost melted my metal heart.
You plugged me in
to give me life, support.
Energy surged through me
like a shooting star in the night sky
my light shined for all to see.
Now it’s just a daze
a foggy haze in a distant nebula.
And did you know I sat there all day?
so much dust
I couldn’t breathe right
*achoo!*
Where once I was a star
I fizzled out in empty space.
It’s time for you
to move on.
