In an upside-down garden

The picture in this box
has faded from my eyes, disappearing
vanishing like you
like empty feelings
it's been replaced

She stutters at you

Closed eyes, opened minds
no words humiliate your ears
I am silence and I smile

Only for you would I
I let it all go flying away
didn't try to grab hold
and leave you alone
I never could

I lost courage

Somewhere around the time
when you stole my hope and my feelings
and left me simply dreaming
with the color red
my only companion

So much for these
stupid run on sentences
covering my thoughts
ridding you of the problem
and smothering the cold, dead
like fairly worn mittens

"Only for you would I

These two lines were my favorite...can't explain why, they just stuck out to me.

I'm not sure which poem I like better, but this one is definatly going into my library.

it was pretty good. the only lines i didn't like were these

...disappearing
vanishing like you
like my brown hair
it's been replaced

they were too obvious. i didn't like the whole hair comparison either, it was kinda...weird. well the rest was good though. good luck on your project!
