The phone



The end has begun, I have already lost you
You lasted so long, I can even remember when you were brand new
Your battery was my life, come back dear phone
You were a useful tool, you let me fly my drone
Boredom has come, I miss your screen
Water was your worst enemy, If only kept you clean
You don’t work, your life is done
Oh how I miss you, you were my very first one
