    Sonnet 33

    Uploaded by

    In this sonnet, the speaker expresses deep sadness over a lost love. The speaker describes their feelings stopping and their eyes losing color, as tears spill down their face in grief. They sigh while looking at a picture from happier times last year, knowing that what they once shared is now gone and the idea of loving again seems far off. Where they used to talk until dawn, dawn now has less meaning. Though goodbyes were said, the speaker wonders if their love was simply by chance and whether it was always meant to end so painfully. The sonnet concludes that if it was by chance, then chance has won and this love has left the speaker feeling utterly ruined.
