It won't be me

It won't be me.
No, sir!
Negative.

She was the prettiest thing walking, when they met - She was young & supple.
P.Y.T. = Pretty Young Thang! Yes, that was her.
He was an experienced man, had money, charm, established and he knew how to take care of a woman.

No, sir! Negative, it won't be me.

He sure did, so much so he felt the need for 2-3, even though he was married.
There she was; she was free as a bird but powerful like a stallion. She was the equivalent of a Grown 'lil girl, if ever there was such.

No, sir! Negative, it won't be me.

She fell in love, deeply, passionately in love.
She loved him, he adored her but he wouldn't leave his wife.

No, sir! Negative, it won't be me.

She got a house, a car and a night on the town every other week and a vacation here and there.
There she was; not so free we heard Maya Angelou say she knew "why the caged bird sings" she was now immulating a lost soul, still beautiful but slowly dying on the inside...

No, sir! It won't be me.

She's not as strong as she use to be, too many abortions to recount or recollect. Alone, because as a mistress she's lost her self respect. Playing 2nd fiddle and accepting what's given to her, never asking for what's owed to her.

No, sir! Negative, it won't be me.

Time waits for no one, woman/man - 30+ years have gone by but she stood by her man, even though he wasn't really hers; she was there whenever he needed her. She gave new meaning to the phrase "old faithful" he raised his family, she dreamed of what hers could've been.

No, sir! Negative, it won't be me.

Pretty Young Thang, beautiful as kept - now, she's an old maid standing at her doorstep waiting...

No, sir!
Negative.
It won't be me.
