WHY DO I ?

Why do I again and again die
To seek attention from your eye?
Why do I die again and again 
To live in memory of that sad past
That under a grave doth so coldly lie ?

Why do I?

Why do I search for meaning in a moment lost
In the valley of forgetfulness
Without being content with this golden moment
That burns me with that fiery touch
From your mythical sweetness ?
