m'aider vous aide

"And I came upon a doctor
Who appeared in quite poor health
I said, 'There's nothing I can do for you
You can't do for yourself'
He said, 'Oh, yes you can, just hold my hand
I think that that would help'
So I sat with him a while
And I asked him how he felt
He said, 'I think I'm cured
No, in fact I'm sure of it
Thank you stranger
For your theraputic smile'

So that's how I learned the lesson
That everyone's alone"

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 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.)"
