One-Way Love
It’s cold, stuck fast in burning ice
no hope of rescue or recourse
no father’s hand, no thinking twice
or hope of Heaven or remorse.
He wanted only trust and love
and to be what He always was:
to be unclimbably above
his first creation, shining Us.
And I did love Him with my soul
at first, but found alternatives
to abject service, courtier’s role
denying that my love yet lives.
I, Lucifer, rule as I will
in Hell but, damn! He loves me still.
