It is a saddening thought to know love can be as such...so many forget the importance of the small things and in-betweens in such and focus on the material, never does play out well when one has a genuine heart...beautifully said Jacob :)
A nicely worded piece. Just a thought..... Do we really have to empty our wallets so that our "love account" gets fat. And many who try to have a "fat wallet" often fail in relationships.
I'm not sure if my words really have anything to do with what you are trying to say but I am sure your lines will give different thoughts to the reader. Stay blessed my friend

i like your take on this..."Money can't buy me love" as the Beatles sang.
I really like the poem, but I find it difficult to connect the title of the poem to what I think it is about.. I think I'll just write a few sentences about the poem just as I would write it for a preparation for a summary or an analysis in school. Maybe it will help to recognize if I didn't understand something.
I believe that the first two lines describe that one person doesn't ( or two people don't )have any money, but is in a relationship or something like that. In line three withdrawal is connected to the "fat love accounts", so love kind of let's say destroyed ( I don't want to say that love disappears because I feel like someone caused this withdrawal and disappear sounds like love left without outside influences ). Line four probably describes that you don't get anything back ( so a dismissal compensation ) from this failed relationship. The content of line five until line seven is that this break up ( or what ever happened ) is caused by people with not much money, who don't know that they destroyed or lost the thing that was most precious to them because they couldn't appreciate it. But in the end they recognize their awful loss.
Ok, I still can't connect the title with the things I believe the poem is about..maybe you can help me. :(
P.s Can I still tell you that I really like the poem even though I probably misinterpretated it ? :D

i appreciate all of your words,
I was told that those who are successful in their careers usually fail in relationships. My comment may not be related to the intent of your piece but it was the first thing that came to mind when i read the first-two lines. I always reading your work, jacob. :)
