You don’t understand you fool, why can’t you see
That no matter what you do, you can’t buy me
You can’t just pay or write me a check
I’m furious now, what did you expect

Yes ‘ill give you my life, I won’t shed a tear
You madman, this is what you want to hear
Will you stop to hear the song of life
Will you let me calm and lose my strife

Your emotions are no more than a desert
Evil and dry, and all covered in dirt
The bill of life is much bigger than
All of the items you can fit in your hand

You think my pain will be healed by greed
If this is what you think, help is what you need
I’ve given up hope, lost all my reason
According to the time, it’s spending season

Wow. This is really good. The rhyming is fabulous (it always is for you, I'm jealous) and I've never heard a poem about your anger of someone trying to buy your love. Good work, and very original.
