Read between the lines

We all make choices in life,
How you affected my life is hidden in this poem,
Everyday I used to hate you,
Now im just ashamed to the thought of you,
YOU,
Life went from bein nastolgic to living a trajedy,
Everything went from jouyous smiles to pain infested tears,
Forever engraved into my memories how,
Tramatically you left a happy home and took a piece of my mom with you you crushed,
HER,
You and your infidelity brought trajedy,
Out unperfectly perfect lives left shattered because of you,
and I could say that this is,
Unfair how you,
LEFT ME,
But instead I just chose to live my life without you.


The author's comments:
Yea um i wrote this about my father, i still love him but he isnt apart of my life anymore. I wrote the poem with a message, every capitalized letter/word in the poem, except the letter "I" stands for something and all together it forms the phrase
"
W
H
E
N
YOU
L
E
F
T
HER
Y
O
U
LEFT ME,
"
Thats why i titled it read between the lines.
