Prince

When he returned to the willow
he was in fine cheer
He'd build a great moat
and that moat would reach here!

And the maid from the sea
would forever be near
(to his castle, his heart
& all else he held dear)

But the prince had an uncle
who wanted the throne
who found him
and drowned him
and the prince died alone

"Oh my king
Oh my prince
Is it true what I see?
Have you given up air
Out of your love for me?

And these are the parts
that you swore on
so gentle,
and so selflessly

You're just as kind
and as fair, my love,
as I ever thought
you would be!"

There once was a prince
as cold as can be,
who lay very still,
& whose eyes stared blankly
through dark and cool waters
deep, deep, under the sea.
