the king's wife

i am the king's wife
for some to see
i am a warm blanket
for his cold life

but i am more than that

because without me
he is nothing
he is not a king

he would just be a thug
a thug with a wife

but i don't want to be a thug's wife

so i made him king
and together we are
the strongest of all
