Welcome to the great journey

In the glow of the screen, for many long years,
We battled through joy, we battled through tears.
Our favorite game, a world we'd explore,
But now it's all gone, and I can't play it anymore.

The updates and the patches, they came and they went,
But our beloved game, it was time to relent.
As servers went dark, our connection was severed,
Leaving behind a void that cannot be measured.

I miss the thrill of victory, the sting of defeat,
The friendships we forged, in pixels, so sweet.
But now it's all gone, like a vanishing stream,
And I'm left with this sorrow, in the wake of a dream.

A game that was more than just ones and zeroes,
A world that meant more than it ever shows.

As time marches on, and new games are found,
I'll forever hold dear that hallowed ground.
But the ache of the loss, it'll never quite cease,
For a piece of my heart, it will always release.
