First Look

She remembered when they first locked eyes.

The way he looked at her

his eyes sparkling

with curiosity

enthusiasm

lust.

But now

when he looks at her

his eyes do not sparkle

they look right through her.

Searching.

For something more.

And so she tried.

She dyed her hair,

wore revealing clothes

more makeup

She gave him everything he could want.

But it was never enough

Nothing could make his eyes sparkle.

Nothing except,

someone new.

Old
