Mind Bandit

How can you be so cruel to play us both for fools?  You’ve been with us for years watching through our tears.

I’ll bet you’re happy now.  Why don’t you take a bow?  You’ve taken something good – you always knew you could.

Do you plan to see it through – will you give us what is due?  If you stay until the end, you might become a friend. 

He’s asking now to die.  You know the reason why.  Come revel in my grief – give him a little peace.
