Look at the grey sky
Continue to ask yourself why
Stare at the cold ground
Leave without a sound

Waiting for someone to come
Thinking love is only for some
Lying on the cold ground
Trying not to make a sound

Feeling nothing
Wanting something
Touch the cold ground
Hide away without a sound

Watch as they stare at you
Knowing much less than choice few
Look at the colored ground
Still not making a sound

Watch as they kneel down and smile
Seeing they have walked a mile
Only to warm your ground
Just to create a sound

Smile a little as they sit
Silence for a bit
Touch the wraming ground
Open your mouth but make no sound

Listen as they talk
On your walls they knock
Feel the nice warm ground
Open your mouth and make a sound

Watch as they listen to you
You never even knew
Someone could come and warm your ground
Or help you make a sound

It seems a little bit... repetitive. I think you should plan out your poem before you start writing, because it didn't really feel to me that the poem was based on the picture. The images of colour are really weak. Pink dominates the picture. Sakura blossoms (assuming they are) are emphasized, and are in sharp contrast to the dark tree and the dark bench. If you write poetry based on a picture, be sure to actually give the imagery. Your rhymes are forced, making it easy to see you wrote it in a short amount of time. Good attempt though. Make more happen in each of your last lines.

Edit: Woops, the pink isn't emphasized. It's the bench eh? I see. That makes more sense, but be sure to mention its surrounding in clearer detail. Abstract writing (if that's what you're aiming for) still needs clear analogies and images.
