Divorced

You sold the house,
I helped build with my hands.
Then just like that,
You sold all the land.

I tucked away treasures
I didn't want you to take.
I should've hid more,
But that was my mistake.

Took all of mom's photos,
Of when she was a kid.
You still deny it,
But I know that you did.

Locked away,
Because of spite.
It amazes me,
How you sleep at night.

All of our baby pictures,
You claimed were yours.
You felt you were entitled,
Because you got divorced
