I really like this - I love the oblique references - cross hair / all I got was the T shirt - and the overall tone. I agree that the change in rhythm from the first stanza jars a little - reducing the word count and changing the shape of it might stop it feeling over-balanced -
My suggestion :
Diverted eyes that tell a story
A thousand times told before,
Insignificance weighed in shady expressions
And ambiguous excuses,
Suspended in perpetual ambivalence
Somewhere between happiness and sorrow,
But don't change it too much!
