A Little Suspicious

I'm a little suspicious of happiness now
It seems to hide in the corner of a room
And when you find it, and grab it,
And think you have it as your own,
It will find a way to turn its back on you.
Like a friendship, with the wrong person
Like a championship game, almost,
But not quite,
Won.
Like a cheater, a liar, a sun
That hides behind clouds
That rain, on a theoretically sunny day.
Don't rely on me, it says.
Don't expect too much of me.
Don't expect from me at all.
And for the utter idealist
Whose insides are turning to black
That happiness in the corner
Begs to be slaughtered
First,
Before it has a chance to beguile me.

I'm a little suspicious of happiness
Now.
