Congratulations

I hid to not be noticed
Yes, I hid to not be seen
Just standing in the shadows
At the fair on grass of green

I watched you living your life
And I watched her watching you
She didn't know I was there
Behind where no one knew

When the moment was over
When the plot was the thickest
I wanted to run to you
But backed away in conflict

Congratulations my dear
Congratulations indeed
You've won my love forever
Though you'll never see me bleed

Misty eyes blurred my vision
Yes, Misty's watched you walk away
In your black shirt and fitted jeans
You left my life that day

I had to turn from you a moment
to stop the tears as they began
But when I looked up again
I didn't see you as I had planned

I searched for over an hour
Yes, I searched there high and low
But when I couldn't find you
I felt it was time to go

Congratulations my dear
Congratulations indeed
You've won my love forever
Though you'll never see me bleed

Zut, I'm so slow...I had to read this twice before I really realized what was going on! This is an interesting piece, totally different from what you'd expect from the title. While you're respecting some corny poem (no offense!) you get a dark poem! Not bad at all! Quite good, actually. This is one situation, although in a cosmic sense I've experienced it, I never really...I don't know. It's a situation I still can't relate to, even though I kinda experienced something similar. Alright, I'm rambling...rambling terribly, too! Anyway, your flow was great in this piece! Although I'm slow and had to read it twice before I realized what was going on, I still enjoyed it. Keep writing Mary, great work!

Such a sad story behind this poem! I could feel the tears in your eyes, and the ache in your heart. The emotions you were feeling came through so well in this write, as you usually do. I'm guessing that the main character in this poem was "the other woman," or maybe an "ex" girlfriend or wife who was having a hard time letting go of a relationship that was so obviously over. (been there, done that) So congratulations to you on Congratulations! Even your old writes are worth reading today! :) Love ya!
