    The main burden of this sonnet seems to be 'Why do you torture me so?' and to a large extent the poem has to be read in reverse. For initially the suggestion is made that the beloved sends out spies to pry jealously into the poet's activities, but by the time we reach the end it is the writer himself who is staying awake, watching and imagining every move his beloved makes in an anguish of jealousy. Yet it is never quite stated this way, and the poet claims that his love is so much greater than the youth's, and it is that which keeps him awake, not the youth's love for him.

    I think I'm drowning
    asphyxiating
    I wanna break the spell
    that you've created

    you're something beautiful
    a contradiction
    I wanna play the game
    I want the friction

    you will be
    the death of me
    yeah, you will be
    the death of me

    bury it
    I won't let you bury it
    I won't let you smother it
    I won't let you murder it
