Mad Girl's Love Song by Sylvia Plath

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I lit 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.

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 thunder bird instead;

At least when spring comes the roar back again.

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

(I think i made you up inside my head.)
