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 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 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 hide in that nobody sees
Color it lonely please

This is the boy whose love I depended upon
Color him gone
