Mad Girl's Love Song Friday, November 06, 200923:15:00
 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 moonstruck, kissed me quite insane
 (I think I made you up inside my head)
 
 God topples from the sky, hell’s fire’s 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)
 
 - Sylvia Plath
