Disturbance

When my joy was a tad to joyful To your liking and your taste I remembered to stop smiling And I did so too with haste I would not show my elation Nothing was to my delight I would speak not of contentment And for you that was just right For I dare not spoil your moments Since you could not stand my bliss In your presence I’d be careful Or something would go amiss Fond were you of my dejection That alone would do you good That is when you would be happy And this fact I understood For my joy was a disturbance Yes, you made it a big deal So, I chose to hide my gladness To make your happiness seem real.
