The King and the Pauper

Here I go again
torn between two men.
How can this be?
I have control or do they control me?
With the King I am safe
his world's a secure place.
I am not a stranger,
I am a famous face.
I'm a queen who walks on flower petals
he the king with lots of medals,
but in his world I cannot find a resting place.
With my dark mysterious lover
I feel free!
He has a wild passion,
a storm that consumes me.
He has no warmth to give, only fire.
He burns into my soul with fucked up desire.
He is silent but strong,
always right and never wrong!
In my lover's world I am a woman!
I am a woman unchained,
I am free to be me.
I am a woman unstained.
I am a queen stepping down,
down from my thrown.
After fifteen years reigning,
years I have grown.
What about my King?
He will survive.
His world is alive,
more alive than he has ever known.
I am no longer a queen, but a woman in love.
A woman willing to dance under the storm clouds above.
