The theme of this sonnet appears to be lust. The speaker might be ranting in this sonnet about his long time feelings for this woman creating frustration over not having her. This might be the reason why the majority of the sonnet is negative rather than positive. Perhaps love is driving him crazy, so he wrote the poem to take out some of his frustration, but it ended up just driving him crazy all over again because he thought about it more. This sonnet might also be him wondering "why did I do that?" or "how did that happen?" These could be his thoughts before, during, and after his actions regarding the lust he felt since he used all three tenses of verbs in line ten of the sonnet.
This sonnet could be speaking about the vicious cycle that is lust. How it is difficult for humans to resist it, but it is not very good at the same time. In the end the speaker starts talking about lust like it was a good thing, and that he would do it again. Then in the last line of the couplet, the speaker says it is heaven and hell at the same time.
