I thought I loved, too

In the depths of this thought that I bask in right now
Lie the ends of morality where I seem to falter
I tell you, that in the thought it is you that I love
And all I hear is the noise of ancient laughter.

This thought it floats at the top of my head
Ever expanding , ever consuming;
Bursting at the seams from a heart that never bled
The life of me, completely overtaking.

All I wanted was a simple favour from the thought
Easily fulfilled. I don't see why it was so hard!
For it to stay in one small corner of my heart
And not turn me into some love-sickened bard.

And now, the thought, my wishes it did break
It leaves me exposed; my heart cut right through
I'm apathetic, I have nothing left to stake
When I confess, that I love nothing but you.
