Keep It Near

Being ill has its perks sometimes ... I.e the inspiration for this poem :)
----------------

The buzzing in my ears
Tell me to open my eyes
Something is watching me
But within darkness it lies

If I open my eyes they'll see it
If I don't I'll surely die
It is a crazy dilemma
Over which I want to cry

But the buzz is getting louder
It is constant in my ear
But something's happening behind me
Which I'm trying not to hear

Then the night goes silent
As rain begins to pour
That's when I hear a familiar sound
Of the creaking of my door

Maybe today it saved me
The rain made it clear
But always at night now
Will I keep a gun near
