Video Game Lover

I call myself the video game lover.

I know how to turn you on.

I know how to press all your buttons.

I know how to play with you the whole night long.

I will manipulate you until I get the desired action.

You are the game, I, the controller.

You are such sweet distraction,

But player one is love bipolar.

I enjoy getting past your levels,

Each time I advance, you reward me with dopamine. 

You shower me with badges, honors, and medals. 

I treat you like a machine, designed to do just one thing. 

Eventually, I'll get bored, I always do.

You have grown used to my attention,

And the warmth of my eyes on you.

You won't know it's GAME OVER,

Not before I do.
