Bottles of Sunshine

I guess you call this a poem about "moving on" after losing someone...or after having been left by someone...whatever, its alot to me :)

I've got a bottle of sunshine without your name on it,
i think it just means that i don't need you anymore,
or maybe it means that you don't need me? i have no clue,
its' not even a bottle anyway, its one of those cups from 7/11 filled with frozen coke.
and that's just it, while i'm walking home holding my cold goodness;
i feel the heat coming at me in all directions, this smile-inducing heat that i've come to love so much,
it blows at me with the wind, it honks at me with the passing cars, and it caresses me like moist air right before a thunderstorm.
i think it means that i don't need ur presence anymore to lift up my spirits,
or maybe it means that you don't want mine.
Either way, i reach home safe and sound, just in time to embrace the love in all newer, brighter ways,
I see it in the beautiful flowers that my mom so carefully decorates the front yard with,
I taste it in the spicey Indian food that my dad so skillfully creates, and I laugh at it with all the silly jokes that my brother SO often tells.
So this means that you're out of my mind right? or possibly, that you pushed me out of yours,
what ever the case, i end up going to sleep with the sweet dreams that you never brought me.

Interesting! I love the original natural feel to this piece. It is almost as if you opened up yourself and allowed the reader to see your confusion yet your epiphany as well. The bewilded vibe that you exuded with your questions also added intensity and meaning to your poem. Well done!

There's a lot of great imagery here, which does support what you're saying here. I must say, an interesting write.

Excellent work here!! I know exactly what you're saying in here as well lol. It's like one side of you says, "Pft, i dont need that A-hole," and the other side says, "Oh, dear, what happened here; how can we fix this?" Yea, ive been in these kinds of situations before, and i know what ur goin thru. Life & love is tuff. I guess we got to stay strong, be true to ourselves, and mean what we say and feel. And hopefully our lives will be alright, and will be happy sooner or later hehe. Great poem here; great job :)
