Madonna x Steven Klein

In my hallucination
I saw my beloved's flower garden
In my vertigo, in my dizziness
In my drunken haze
Whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel

I saw myself as the source of existence 

I was there in the beginning 

And I was the spirit of love 

Now I am sober 

There is only the hangover 

And the memory of love 

And only the sorrow 

I yearn for happiness 

I ask for help 

I want mercy 

And my love says: 

Look at me and hear me 

Because I am here 

Just for that 

I am your moon and your moonlight too 

I am your flower garden and your water too 

I have come all this way, eager for you 

Without shoes or shawl 

I want you to laugh
To kill all your worries
To love you
To nourish you 

Oh sweet bitterness 

I will soothe you and heal you 

I will bring you roses 

I, too, have been covered with thorns
