You took the blue from my eyes,
Healed the scars from my skin,
Took away my longing cries,
Kissed the tears off my chin.
You showed me right,
Showed me wrong,
Gave me a place,
To belong.
You captured the fire in my veins,
Captured the pain from far apart,
Captured the anger in my brain,
Captured the love in my heart.

Aw, this is really nice. So sweet. But it made me sad, because it reminds me of my ex-boyfriend of almost one year, who I'm still deeply in love with even after he broke up with me. By the way, could you maybe check out my poem about him? It's titled "The One I Call Mine."
