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.)"
