hmmm what came to my mind is that jack is talking about hatred in general. "You might think im your enemy but that don't make you mine" refers to how he doesn't want to hate anything/anyone if he doesn't have to. Even if someone is not on good terms with him, he still likes them, he doesn't hate them.
I think this is strongly showed through the first several lines,
"After we spoke I had a dream that I broke
The teeth from a mouth of a snake"
these lines kind of relate to that time after an argument or fight you have with a person and you feel like destroying something/acting in rage (ex: punching a wall, screaming in a pillow, etc.) because you are so angry. Jack had a "dream" of him breaking the teeth of a snake because of his anger at that moment.
But he later chokes on his own teeth (the moment when you realize how you reacted was wrong, like swallowing your own words). He becomes disgusted with himself for that spurt of anger he committed and those terrible images he imagined:
"Then I choked on the teeth they were mine all along
I picked up the pieces when I woke
I put them in a boat made of things that I don't want to see"
^ similar to the moment when you say things or do things you dont really mean but you say/do them because you are so pissed. however, after all of it, you regret reacting to the situation so negatively. sometimes when we are angry we hurt the ones we love even thought we don't mean it. Jack picks up all the "pieces" (in this case the teeth, but this could also mean the things like debri from the wall, feathers from the pillow, pieces from the damage you may have caused, etc.) and he locks them away ("put them in a boat made of things I don't want to see") so he won't ever have to look at them/be reminded of them.
But unfortunately anger and hatred are things that can't be avoided. its part of human nature as jack describes with these lines:
"I blew on the sail watched it drift out to sea
The further it drifted the closer it came to me I can't explain."
So although he tries to forget about his times of anger and his acts of hatred, as he watches them "drift" away they still "drifted" "closer" to him.
Clearly his idea of trying to go at life without anger is also obviously stated with "I put hatred in a box then I locked it, the strongest one I made." And even though anger/hatred is something you cannot control, you can ease it. you can grow strong from your wrong-doings and learn to be less angry with the world/people. And by doing that, you can enjoy life happily:
"I buried it all grew a tree without thorns
And sat beneath its shade"
(Shade meaning comfort, happiness, peacefulness. He turned away from his anger and something good came out of it ((the tree with shade and no thorns))).
