the clock,
it ticks.
tick
tock
tick
tock
it keeps me awake
in the silence of the night.
that odd hour when
it isn't quite midnight
but also not quite dawn.
it's deafening almost.
it makes me hear things..
is there someone in the house?
creak
tick
tock
tick
tock
no.
maybe i should check.
the clock,
it ticks.
and it keeps me up.
i barely sleep.
