Mad Girl's Love Song

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
