She compares herself with a creature because she wants to express that she is a human being with lots of feelings and emotions. Here ‘creature’ is used as opposed to nonliving things. If she were lifeless, she would have remained unchanged with time. But for being a ‘creature’ her thoughts or feelings might change later. So it won’t be wise enough to love her for such transitory reasons.

In another interpretation, the lover does sympathize with the poet and wipe her eyes in times of sorrow. All these are similar to treat her like a creature. But the poet doesn’t wish to be treated that way, as she may find a strong position and may not need to weep in future. She wants to be treated with genuine love and care, not with pity.
