I really enjoyed reading this. I'm not an expert on poetry, so I can't really give a critiquing review. What I can say is that I love your style.

This is my favorite part:

I don’t see your imperfections
In my eyes you are perfect
You think that you aren’t flawless
But in my eyes you
Simply
Are

I don't know if you purposely wrote this without breaking it into separate stanzas, but if not I think you should divide it to create a bigger impact after each thought. For example, the part I quoted could stand alone. I would split anything that clutches the heart or creates a gasping effect. It gives the reader a moment to think about what they just read and let it sink in. Other than that, this was really good:)

This is brilliant, I loved it. The line

I suffer only at your hand

is just great, as are the last two lines.

This is, however, a critique. So here goes: The total lack of punctuation makes it difficult to read in places. I know omitting punctuation is a rather post-modern technique and lends an air of 'stream of consciousness' to a poem, but I think it is more effective when used sparingly. Consider, if you like, putting pepper on a meal. A little bit enhances the whole dish, but if the whole dish was pepper it would taste awful. So, flavour your poem with this technique, but don't allow the piece be overpowered by it.
