The Pheonixs Sorrow

I have no smile and no face. I have no emotions that set me in place. The sky is gray, and days are plain, nights are my only time that I play. The smoke in my mouth, The glitter in my eyes, The story they tell with hidden between the line. In distress I rise above it all, like a Phoenix, I rise from my ashes reborn. But who is there to see me no one? While my movements could entertain my audiences. But where is that person I wait for? That I wanted to see for so long. Where are you and what made you think I wasn't important?! My ashes lay in the mist of neither despair or happiness. My flames that were hot and burning they are cold and blue. My loud voice is soft. My eyes that were ruby's are now blue sapphires. My wings that expanded with grace and elagance are stiff and heavy. If you are good to me I'll be good to you. And without your love I will wither and die but be reborn again. Until then I will wait. Because I know one day you will come back. Because I am yours and only yours alone.

I like the analogy between love returning and the phoenix being re-born, this is a nice poem, you've got a few typo's in there (line 6, 7 & 9 I noticed) - this one is definitley worth a re-read and a quick edit.
