Jon Edward Walker - Barfly

you're covered in bruises
and dark circles adorn both eyes
I overhear you say your name
and I feel your laughter
it shakes your body and mine
your body sags with
the weight of your world
and time hasn’t been too
kind to you
but your eyes still
shine to spite all
because you’ve got diamonds inside
