Illusion

We may be through

But it’s been this way

For such a long time

That I am numb to any pain you could cause

I decided for myself

When I ceased to hurt

That I would just ride this out

If for nothing more

Than to see if you felt

Some illusion of control

You never had

Let me make it clear

I decide for myself

You didn’t throw me away

You were discarded weeks ago

And just recently noticed

My hand was no longer there
