Mad Girl’s LoveSong

by Sylvia Plath

I shut myeyesand all the world dropsdead;

I lift mylidsand all is born

again.

(I think I made you up insidemy head.

!he stars go

 walt"ingout in blue andred#

 $nd arbitrary

bla%knessgallops in&

I shut my eyesand all the world dropsdead.

I dreamed that you bewit%hed me

into bed

 $nd sungme moon'

stru%k#kissed meuite

insane.

(I think Imade youup insidemyhead.

God topples fromthe sky#

hell)s *res fade&

+,it seraphimand Satan)s men&

I shut my eyesand all the world dropsdead.

I fan%ied you)d

returnthe way you said#

ut I grow oldand I forget yourname.

(I think I made

you up

inside my

head.

I should haveloveda thunderbird

instead; $t least when spring%omes

they roar ba%k agai

I shut my eyes

and all the world dropsdead.

(I think I made you up

inside my head./
