In this love poem of only four lines, Shakespeare using an interesting rhyme scheme of A, B, A, B, C, C, C, C. This poem is also thought provoking because it is not typical of a love poem; it more talks about wanting his ex-lover to now leave him alone for pain she may have caused or a void she left in his fagile heart. In line 2, he uses the word forsworn, which means to renounce or deny under oath, to describe is lover's lips. He then goes on in lines 3-4 to describe the eyes of his lover similar to the morning sun light, but a light that was actually misconstrued by Shakespeare and misled him. In the last few lines he talks of bringing his kiss again, maybe because he deeply misses this person, but he says any kiss from this point on would only been in vain - it could never be genuinely out of love anymore.
