Poem, I love thee...

So I went into my old documents to try and retrieve any poetry that I have written, and I saw this one. Now I remember when I was writing it I kept thinking of the poem, "How do I love Thee...Let me count the ways" so I wrote it in a similar fashion, only instead of how much you love this person and how strong and pure that love is, well its more like how much you love someone and yet have the ability to hurt and make another person (someone you love) live in grief and agony. This poem is a VERY rough draft, in fact besides spell check I haven't changed it, from the very first time I wrote it down. I never rhyme my poems except for a very mediocre try a year or so ago, however this one kind of does so well what the hell, I am posting it anyways. I hope this poem doesn't make ya'll laugh or shake your heads in embarrassment.
How do I love thee, let me count the ways
I love thee till your hurt with pain, I love thee till you cry your tears
I'll love the till your broken in spirit and I will love thee till you bow in grief
I often whispers words of love and cross my fingers till
The words are whispered back with truth and then I love thee still
See I love thee even though I cause you grief
Even though my words are strong,
My actions seemingly are weak and my honesty still brief
I will love thee till the world ends
I will love you when my behavior is wrong
I will love you until your spirit bends-
To my will and you let yourself be stepped upon
I care yes I really do care for thee
But my spirit is weak and so I don-
My brave face, my scared face
So please understand, please hold on
And take your heart and brace -
For truly I do love thee
I love the weak and wrong
I love thee and lie and hope you never flee
I love thee let me count the ways...
I love thee and lie
I love thee and mislead
I love thee and betray
I love thee and deceive

You have no idea how appropriate this poem is for me this morning. You should keep writing, Virenda, you have a gift. :)

That gave me chills. All I can say is 'wow'. That is heartbreakingly beautiful.
