Padraic My Prince

" I had a brother once He drowned in a bathtub
Before he had ever learned how to talk
And I don't know what his name was
But my mother does
I heard her say it once

Padriac, my prince, I've all but died
From the sheer weight of my shame
You cried but no one came
And the water filled your tiny lungs

Appear, my dear, and cry for me
It was six years ago today
That I laid you in your grave
Your sweet young skin was shining then..."
