your bones have been my bed frame

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 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 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, Mad girl's love song
