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...

I love the idea of painting memories. I think that's what we do with poetry.
That list line is simply stunning, my friend. Playing with words or not, it's so very clever. Like this one a lot :-)

Paint my memories, be an artist
Dysfunctional thoughts, yours, mine,
And I like your games too much
Reading your eyes, a burning omen,
This succubus in disguise, begging,
Pull me under, make me, take me,
Trap me deep in these memories
