1) The relation between the title of the poem and the rest of the poem is that the first sentence IS the title of the poem and the title is kind vague but when the poem is read it explains the title.

2) The first sentence of the poem basically describes how the person fits into the poets eyes and how much love there is between the person and the poet but then the line that says "like a hook into an eye, a fish hook, an open eye." When the last three lines are visualized it shows pain and a sense of getting hurt because logically speaking a fish hook going into an open eye would be extremely painful therefore the poet is trying to describe her feelings through the usage of metaphor.

3-4) It can clearly be seen that the author is trying to express her feelings towards someone else and it has to deal with some kind of a love story. Firstly the poet starts the poem with "you fit into me" which is a positive thing and creates a happy image and then "like a hook into an eye" which expresses how tight or close the two people being together are  however in the next two line the poet says "A fish hook an open eye." which shows pain and negativity showing something happened that the relationship got ruined. It can be seen that the author uses the same type of words to express different stages of their relationship with the other person and how it went from being happy and positive to sad & getting hurt and negativity.

5) There are various images and figurative speeches seen  in the poem for example in the first two sentences the author shows and image of how tight and great their relationship were and she uses positive metaphors to explain this relation but then in the last two sentences she uses imagery to explain how the relationship ended and how much pain they were in.

6) She starts by being positive and explaining how perfect her past was but then how they got tricked in a relationship like a fish would be tricked to go eat the food that's on the hook but then they get trapped and die because they were tricked and she uses this metaphor to explain how they were tricked as well into being in a relationship with their partner and at the end they got hurt.

7) It starts off being romantic and explaining how lovely and dovly they are together but then the author shows a dark side of them.

8) The poem is being told from the authors point of view because she uses "you" in the beginning but then she uses the last two sentences to express her feelings.
