Fool's Gold

Just when one thinks they have a person with a heart of gold; it is usually full of lead.

Window shopping for love until cupid shot me in the arm
A preconceived breath of fresh air; infatuated by its charm
Floored by its presence; wanted to investigate
Too nervous in approach and too scared to initiate
Months after chasing and finally pursuing the ghost
I became the parasite and my new found friend; the host
Spell casted begins to wear off with misery rearing its ugly head
striving my head above water; should I continue to tolerate or be dead?
dreams shattered for tempting fate
dwelling on the wouldas, shouldas,and couldas but it was too late
Invested all my eggs into one basket
but will only receive flowers when I am in the casket
Glanced up into the sky wondering why,why,why
Not being to myself by harboring an eternal lie

"Window shopping for love" That's a term I haven't heard before, but I really enjoy it.
I really enjoyed all of this, actually. I felt my writing style when I read yours. And that makes me want to keep reading it because I can relate so much better.
If I made a favorites list, I would add this to it.
