Shell Shock

by callmejoe

A new set of lips That curl into a smile Every time my eyes fall to them A new pair of eyes That meet mine Every time I decide to glance A new spark That gives me hope That maybe I can love again Yet she seems too nice The kindness she radiates Makes me cower She's too pretty Her beauty consumes me Not with awe but with doubt Just as I was too sure That the last one was for me That she was the one And if that last one Could fool me with "I love you" Why would someone new be different?
