Mad Girl's Love Song
By Sylvia Plath
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again
(I think I made you up inside my head)
The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead
I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane
(I think I made you up inside my head)
God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead
I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name
(I think I made you up inside my head)
I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead
(I think I made you up inside my head)
