my colouring book

for those who fancy colouring books

and lots of people do

here's a new one for you

a most unusual colouring book

the kind you'll 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

lost him somehow

colour them empty now

these are the beads i wore

until she came between

colour them green

this is the room that i sleep in and walk in

and weep in and hide in

that nobody

nobody's seen

oh

colour it lonely

please

this is the man whose love i depended upon

colour him gone
