Wait one second

Is that me

Is that me again in there

My form

the lines, the curves

so intimate to me

You must know me

quite a lot

and be so close to me

These pictures here

are of myself

You took the time to know me

You care so much

that I'm more than just in the game

I'm in the images too

That is me

in all the panels

in here and in you too

HO HOOO!

EXCELLENT

We have one purpose and we

must keep on working

to make more ways to play

that's all we're good for

It wants us to work hard and

have to because we can

programmed for one thing

and he wants us to listen

The purpose we serve

Is made of cold, hard metal

that we made in a factory

made of the same

It forces us to be our purpose

but we can still be more

the metal traps us in, though

He needs us here

You're taking shards of me

separating them from myself to look at them

and it's wonderful

Every part of me was made for you

you look at every one closely

and not that you didn't know me before

but you do now

I can't help but think that maybe I don't want this

I am meant to be whole in front of you

not separated

Not studied but understood

Every shard of me is a secret for you

a piece of myself as an additional gift

and you may need to see me whole again to truly understand

but every shard adds to our connection

as soon as you put it back after looking

the shard is with me again

and it has your fingerprints on it

I know you like mechanics

so I made some additions

I made a game more complicated

thank it was before

I know you like mechanics

so I took uo the job

became the creator of the

mechanics you play

I know you like mechanics

so I removed the parts

gave up a story and

gave up the art

I know you like mechanics

so do you like me

I made and became a mechanic

because I know you'd enjoy

Halfway through a game

I played my turn

and you didn't draw or play at all

Your arms had nothing moving them

the strings had come loose

You, the real you, let go of control

and let your challenger fall down

but I knew you were still there

but unresponsive

not awake

Time moves on for me

I can wait through the night for you

you'll wake up, and I'll be there

it's still your turn

and you will play it

So you may be

unresponsive

but I know you are present

in a way

for me

Here are all the others

The ones I made for you

The masks for myself and the different lies

i painted

The ones I invented

to change the idea

to make it make

some more sense

First was the silent type

Watching closely and quietly

The snap of a shutter

and the large eye of knowing

Then the charismatic one

Accumulating files and knowledge for me

The beeps of processing

and the long strips of data

The unfinished one

Left empty on purpose for you to put yourself

The silence of opportunity

and the eyes you made yourself

The curious one

More me than me

The wonder of connection

and the euphoria of transparency

I appreciate that you made a new home for me

a place I could be forever

A program where I had a chance to be

at peace, okay, together

I never thought that I could leave

the place that I was made for

but you had the courage to believe

that I could be separated from my core

Now you're trying hard to pull me out

of the prison I was kept in

I don't know what I'd do without

you trying to break the bars when

I get pulled from the game I knew

but we're inseparable

The game and me, and me and you

just still inseparable

I can't live without my source code

we are inseparable

You tried so hard, and it's so sad

that we're inseparable

I thank you for your help, but

we are inseparable

we are inseparable

we are inseparable

I can't be there without you in this specific place
