My Coloring Book

For those who fancy coloring books

As certain people do

Here's a new one for you

A most unusual coloring book

The kind you never see

Crayons ready?

Very well

Begin to color me

These are the eyes that watched him

As he walked away

- Color them grey

This is the heart that thought

He would always be true

- Color it blue

These are the arms that held him

And touched him

Then lost him, somehow

- Color them empty, now

These are the beads I wore

Until she came between

- Color them green

This is the room I sleep in and walk in

And weep in, and hide in

That nobody sees

- Color it lonely, please

This is the man

The one I depended upon

- Color him gone
