The poet explores themes of love and lies in this sonnet. Lies serve as the foundation for their complicated and gravely toxic relationship. However, it’s interesting to note that they are both aware of this activity. They seem to be sticking together because of their shared deceit. He is aware that the Dark Lady has been disloyal to him, just as she is aware of his ageing which he has lied to her about.
