It's All Right

So she left
right?

she planned it
said she would
be back. Didn't say when.

I looked up and noticed how quiet sounds
and it has been quiet since she left.
right.
My heart is free
from insanity
Maybe she won't come back. 
"Oh well" I said to myself
and smiled, not worried.
"It's all right. I'll survive".

The truth is that simple.
