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
