Rely On You

Your final three words this week are:
RELY
REBEL
RESENT

I used to rely on you,
Maybe that is what made you resent me,
And caused you to rebel—
But I’m still standing in the quiet aftermath,
Sorting through the echoes of what we were,
Learning how to breathe without your shadow,
And teaching my heart not to flinch
At the memory of your leaving.
