I think Collins is using a love styled poem to bring down the person he's talking to. I really think that question #5 can really justify him doing this. In response to question #2, I think Collins has to bring himself in because he is involved. Love is between two people. It's interesting how he doesn't just insult her, he complements himself. I think he wants to put the blame on her and reinforce that he did nothing wrong.
