Couldn't Read My Eyes
Memories painted by a disgruntled brush
Dysfunctional thoughts falling short of wise
Won a game of poker with a busted flush
I bluffed a demon who couldn’t read my eyes

That's sharp, cynical, and darkly clever. It's got a cool, almost noir vibe, and that last line is a killer.

Might have been playing with words here but you were wielding them with much skill & power. What we read is what is usually in our minds, regardless how the writer intended it. What you did here gives a reader lots of avenues to wander. Damn...
