Diamond Smile, Smokey Eyes.

You'll find me out where the smoke's most thick.
Holy middle man, turning broken faith's new tricks.
Occupy the room between stumble and fall,
Ears trained to pick up the siren's last call.

Spoiled lover's plans, I give the devil his due.
Drunken waltz through all the gardens where my dreams once grew.
Threw my chips in with Old Seven and his wicked brew.
I've been kissing on them bottles, when I should be kissing you.

Lay my cards out on the table, always two up my sleeve.
Pull broken diamonds from your smile as I take my leave.
Trade pretty words at empty promise's door,
then tip the waitress and hope to god she's a whore.

There's a cat out at the graveyard and he's digging for me,
Lay my bones out, buried treasure, in a dirt-filled sea.
His cracked tooth smile as he says with a wink,
"Most people feel like floating when they trying to sink."

"Occupy the room between stumble and fall,"

Too impeccable.

I want to cry in my dust filled corner because I wish I could of wrote something like this.

Ugh!!!
Splendid, and remarkably creative.

Asshole!
