My Coloring Book

For those who fancy coloring books
And lots of 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
When you 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 and 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 die in that nobody sees
Color it lonely, please
This is the boy, whose love I depended upon
Color him gone
