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
