My Laughs

Sometimes I stifle my laughs
Not because I am ashamed of them,
But because they are too loud
Laughs have always been too loud for his liking
If I am too loud, he might wake up
He doesn't like being woken,
So I have to choke out my laughs,
Or he’ll choke me out himself
Sometimes I stifle our laughs.
