Cold Eyes
i looked at the photograph
the cold eyes
the snide laugh
the plump arms
scraped back hair
devoid of charm
the cold eyes
it was there that i saw it
not just a sale on
but an empty shop
where everything had gone
there was no warmth
i looked at the photograph
i saw shades of grey
and horrid moments of the past
