I Have Loved but Once

I have loved once
and now it is too late.
My heart was confused by fire,
and my brain fried by lightening

Whilst I floated on a cloud of notes
composed for me,
wrapped in the down of his love,
exalted to heaven with my god

But now, now, I am cast down and aside.
Hell is knowledge
that I loved too young,
And loved too well.

And that I can never expect that
feeling again,
and life will be empty,
like a glass left upside down in the rain
