my tell-tale heart

Can you hear that?
It's the sound of a crackling fire
In a lonely home 
In the middle of the woods

Can you hear that?
It's the sound of birds
Flapping their wings 
Soaring into the starry sky

Can you hear that?
It's the sound of a ticking clock
Minutes away from midnight
Hands walking never stopping

Can you hear that?
It's the sound of breaking glass
A vase fallen from the top shelf
Scattering on the floorboards

Can you hear that? 
It's the sound of branches
Devoid of leaves
Swaying in the wind

Can you hear that?
It's the sound of my heartbeat
A two-beat music chanting
LI-AR LI-AR LI-AR...
