I'm not sure how metaphysical the poem is. Certainly Death is a theme. Death is mentioned in the poem, but unassertively, it is only mentioned as a form of strengthening the idea that love conquers everything. Towards the end, the speaker talks about death as a consequence of lack of true love; if love makes two people like one, each of them equally contributing to the whole, then there is no death. Death in this instance could me more so seen as a dying of love, of relationships falling apart.
