In Vain

Wasn't I crazy, Or was I mad, To yearn for love, That could be had. Wasn't I reckless, To believe that skies, Would clear once more, For my weeping eyes. Isn't it ironic, That life should remain, After all that's treasured, Has ceased in vain. A melancholy storm, Constricting love with its noose, Has left me alone, In a life so obtuse.
