He Ain't No GoodA Poem by TentenThat boy ain’t no good for me Like a sickness, an infection That eats away at individuality Killing off the personal flow As I fall free to his row The direction of streets Left to his feet Abandoning my rail road tracks That boy ain’t no good for me But he’s got the feel Of that tortured artist Like we all do; that sense Where emotion hits a little harder Stays a little longer In a minute to an hour beat Gets the pain the pleasure the shame The raw trigger of life in him Aimed straight for the heart Too bad callous palms are a little shaky He ain’t no good, not for me But he’s got that writers essence rhythm Not the smooth flow of expectation eternity So while he ain’t the best We had our once upon time That ain’t no more, I got this Moose A samurai warrior to smoother our embers Consoling thoughts I’ll go on knowing he still moves But ain’t wit me and that’s just plenty fine
