My Coloring Book

For those who fancy coloring book lots of people do

Here's a new one for you

A most unusual coloring book the kind you'll 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.

These are the beads I wore until she come between

Color them green

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

And hiding when nobody sees

Color it lonely please

This is the man, the one I depended upon

Color him gone...
