Confusion-single word poetry please challenge

When we met, I fell for you fast.

I told you all the things of my darkened past.

But you didn't worry about the past I told.

So I ran forward, with my heart brave and bold.

I tried to slow down or just to stop,

but nothing was working, my heart was on top.

My time with you was so sweet and light

at least, that is, until we had our first fight.

It seemed just a simple misunderstanding.

We worked it all out, with neither demanding.

We were just two people who made up our fuss

and delighted in finding grounds for our trust.

Now, we come further down our long road

and my feelings have caused you problems untold.

So out of respect, you were honest with me.

You said you didn't love me the way I hoped it would be.

I am special deep in your heart, you did say,

but romantic love was no longer your way.

The feelings you have are deep and true,

and I meant the same as your family to you.

To be your friend is what I then tried.

But when I was with you, my heart just cried.

Your caring support didn't help me

Why would you do this if our love couldn't be?

Money in need, was repaid as was given.

And despite my health, you helped me go on living.

Then the worst time I thought life could be

I fell apart as they took my home from me.

You were there, so caring and true

But this only made me further confused.

You took your hard-earned savings for me

to buy a house to rent to my kids and me.

As if that alone were not enough, you set the rent to be

only enough to cover your interest and fees.

A three bedroom house for five hundred a month

in a neighborhood that is nice, certainly no dump.

Even then, you helped stop my hard fall,

By letting us owe you more than six month's rent in all.

Yet, now you still wonder why I have to ask why?

Why do all of this for a love you deny?
