My Coloring Book

In case you fancy colouring books, and lots of people do
I've a new one for you
A most unusual colouring book, the kind you never see
Crayons ready? Very well, begin to colour me

These are the eyes that watched him as he walked away
Colour them grey
This is the heart that thought he would always be true
Colour it blue
These are the arms that held him
And touched him, then lost him somehow
Colour them empty now

These are the beads I wore until she came between
Colour them green

This is the room I sleep in, and walk in, and weep in
And hide in that nobody sees
Colour it lonely, please

This is the man, the one I depended upon
Colour him gone
