Yet another Sylvia Plath poem. Maddy says that it reminds her of me for some reason. Alas, it is valentines day, so I deemed it fitting. Enjoy.
.Mad Girls 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.)"
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.)"
Beautiful, Sylvia Plath will never get old. So I have decided that all this valentines chatter is driving me insane. Let those who have lovers enjoy this day, and to those who don't; someone in the world loves so don't dwell on it. Although every day should be a day where we shower the people we love with adoration, we all know that would be exhausting, and so it is nice to put everything aside to show our love to others. Its just like mothers day, we should show our appreciation to them all the time, but sometimes they deserve their own special day. I don't know about you, but I am pretty sentimental, and I am going to take advantage of this most beautiful day to let everyone I know how much I love and appreciate them.
The Beatles know whats up.
