Mad Girl’s Love Song

[Inspired by “Mad Girl’s Love Song” by Sylvia Plath] [Instrumental Intro: Soft saxophone wails over a slow piano melody.] [Spoken Word: Whispering, echoes] “I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead…” [Verse 1] The lights grow dim in this faded room, Shadows dance to a ghostly tune. I dream of you, but you’re never there, Just the scent of smoke in the cold night air. [Chorus] Did I make you up, was it all in my head? I shut my eyes, and the world drops dead. A phantom touch, a fleeting sigh, I wake to silence, beneath the sky. [Verse 2] The bar is empty, the clocks unwind, A bottle whispers of borrowed time. Your voice, a hymn, a siren’s song, But in this haze, you’ve been gone too long. [Hook] “A dream, a ghost, a fleeting lie, A shadow burned into the sky. In the dark, where secrets stay, I chase the echoes night and day.” [Verse 3] I trace the outline where you once stood, A cigarette burns like I knew it would. Your promises linger, but they fade with the night, A spark that dies in the absence of light. [Chorus] Did I make you up, was it all in my head? I shut my eyes, and the world drops dead. A phantom touch, a fleeting sigh, I wake to silence, beneath the sky. [Spoken Word: Over slow, dramatic piano and saxophone swells.] “I could have loved you, but you’re not real. A figment of fire, a shadow to feel. And still, I wait in this endless night, For a dream to end, for a flicker of light.” [Final Chorus] Did I make you up, was it all in my head? I shut my eyes, and the world drops dead. A phantom touch, a fleeting sigh, I wake to silence, beneath the sky. [Hook] “A dream, a ghost, a fleeting lie, A shadow burned into the sky. In the dark, where secrets stay, I chase the echoes night and day.” [Instrumental Outro: Soft saxophone fades into the night] [Spoken Word: Slow and sultry] “I shut my eyes… and all the world drops dead.” [End]
