Mad Girl's Love Song 

 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
