Think it's about a ultra-romantic kind of relationship. An obsessive love, that doesn't want the loss of the partner. It sounds like Borderline's and some extreme mental disorders' fear of rejection and alternation from love to hate too fast, and that's why the narrator asks for guarantee, for promises (one extreme depressive symptom is the request for to not get forsaken). We can see that in the line "Would you end this line with me?" and the others next to. But reading more, it really looks like a talk between a man and woman, totally disrupted, with fight and obsession at the same time. Looks like they're fighting, but don't want to break apart.
