"I apologize if me needing to clarify a few things came off as ungrateful or stubborn,"
It didn't come off that way at all. It was a quite thoughtful response.
Don't have much time at the moment, I hope to get back.
But until or if I don't:
1. I'll give you the line 4, but not 8.
2. Assuming that shelf life isn't real life seems a bit naive to me.
But real or not, I don't think the poem/author should make that assertion;
I think it's more interesting to leave that up to the reader.
