Thank You for Leaving

Poetry

Description

Rithvik Singh gathers poems and brief reflections about heartbreak, separation, and the difficult work of moving forward after someone leaves. Addressing both the absent person and the self left behind, the pieces move through longing, anger, grief, acceptance, and the recovery of self-respect. Rather than treating departure only as loss, Singh considers what an ending can expose about attachment, boundaries, and the ways people abandon themselves to preserve a relationship. The collection’s direct, intimate voice makes each entry feel like part confession and part reassurance. Its emotional arc turns gratitude into a complicated practice: acknowledging pain while recognizing that release can create room for healing and renewed self-possession.
