I only have one apple device, and I can't access my cloud account. I forgot my recovery key, and it's saved on this inaccessible device. Could there be any way possible to get my icloud account back without the recovery key or can I request a new recovery key?
You could generate a new recovery key from another trusted device that is logged into your iCloud account. As you indicated that you have no other device and have lost your key, you’re likely locked out of your account forever. When you create a recovery key the onus on maintaining a means of restoring access falls only on you. Apple has no way of accessing your account or resetting it for you.

No. When you created a recovery key you, and only you, can use it to regain access to your account. Apple no longer has any means of helping to recover your account.
