My Coloring Book

In case you fancy coloring books and lots of people do

I've a new one for you

A most unusual coloring book, the kind you'd never see

Crayons ready, very well, begin to color me

These are the eyes that watched him as he walked away

Color them gray

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

This are the beads I wore until she came between

If you like, color it green

This is the room I sleep in and walk in and weep in and

hide in

That nobody ever sees, color it lonely, please

This is the man, the one, the one I depended upon

You must color him gone

He's gone, color him gone
