When I read it that's how I interpreted it until the final line, when she seems to revert back to the standard "love conquers all."
Probably, she is saying: If I were starving or in severe pain, I might sell your love in exchange for food or to relieve my pain. I don't think I would, but I might because love isn't everything. So, love isn't everything, but it's so precious that I would not sell it. I could, but I wouldn't.
I read it this way. Not sure if this is what she intended when she wrote the poem.
