Analysis of My love
Ryan M. Linn 1993 (West Virginia)
My heart pounds as my lips push against glass.
One more hit, just one more, it'll last.
My love I am torn in half. This love or our love? How could you ever ask?
I love you but this, it loves me.
I crave it, this is what I need.
If you truly loved me you'd watch it sink in its teeth.
You don't though, so should leave.
It says it loves me for me.
It says it's here to please.
I am Gollum it is my ring.
My very precious, precious thing.

You figure it out. Isn't that the point? I'd say it's kinda on the nose.
