Since you left, I've been unable to dream, I toss about in tangled sheets all night. And fold paper planes, odd as that may seem, preparing the Night's fledgling fears for flight. I believed we'd be together till death: yet you cast me aside, alone and scared. And left me no incentive to draw breath: what kept me going was thinking you cared. Each night, I scribble down my hurt and pain, describing how you devastated me. And fold the page into a paper plane; willing the winds of fate to set me free. I await a breeze to launch my letter: knowing once it takes flight, I'll sleep better.

When we place our thoughts to the page, we are setting them free. The *paper plane* analogy makes perfect sense, because there are times when we want the wind to take them far away. This is tender and emotional, all at the same time. Congratulations Emile, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. ~ Brandy

Emile, such a touching sonnet. I will have to try this strategy of writing down the fears and pains that prevent sleep and send them away on a paper airplane before bedtime. Loved reading your creativity, congratulations for POTD today. Best wishes ~ John
