What do you think about this poem?

My Sunshine

Like a flower without water

Gandhi without food

Somehow I am less alive

When I am without you

You’re the source of all my energy

The thought behind my smile

The feeling I never thought I’d have

And have been for a while

If you ever took your love away

I don’t know what I’d do

I don’t want to live without you

Update:

pink: Thank you. I almost cut that part because I thought people wouldn't get it. Glad to see I was wrong.

Rachel: Thanks. If I was worried about someone stealing it I wouldn't post it here- good point though.

tj8: When Gandhi refused to eat it was a powerful act of love that caused him to suffer. This poem recognizes the break in spiritual energy that happens when there is major discord in a deep and meaningful relationship. I'll admit it's a stretch, which is why I considered taking it out, but creative liberties prevailed. I'm sorry if it offended you.

Update 2:

Teddy: Love is a drug my friend. If you get cut off, withdrawals are inevitable.

Update 3:

Looking for more: Thanks. Maybe you should write something like that. My guess would be that there's not as much emotion in strategy so it's more difficult to write about it. Just a thought.

Update 4:

Kayla: Thanks. :)

    Gandhi without food ?

    Are you referring to Mr. MK Gandhi, the father of the nation of India?

    It is right here:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandhi

    I can not comment for Sonia Gandhi, or other Gandhis in existence.

    >>"Like a flower without water

    >>Gandhi without food"

    Why don't you rephrase,

    "Like a flower with no fragrance

    Gandhi with no followers"

    You got the idea, right ?

    >>"Somehow I am less alive

    >>When I am without you"

    If that is about your love, forget those

    suggestions, you can't bring in holy

    men to just to exaggerate your earthly

    sentiments.

    THX

    Source(s): May Gandhi help you with this.He might not take this any offense Good luck.

    Love is a drug indeed!

    I like it...a lot.

    I understand why people write about a love lost or being taken away but no one ever writes about what drove it away or how they intend to make it stay....
