Hijack the precious cargo of my Love
boost the untapped resource of it's wealth
leave your prints or burgle it with gloves
kick the door in, grift it out with stealth

Arm yourself and draw down on my heart
pillage it, it's worth it's weight in gold
no good is it when locked up like fine art
be thuglike, it's a drunk now get it rolled

Bring heat my precious gunsel take me down
strongarm babe, extort me if you must
act a gang cut loose in some hick town
bust my safe it overflows with lust

A patient and determined yegg I need
I'll settle for a gatt up in my face
this time I will appreciate your greed
if caught I won't bear witness to the case

Still I'll stand, I'll be the perfect mark
I'll neither cry nor raise a loud alarm
invest in me forever sweet loan shark
I'll not co-operate with the gendarme

Fleece the horde of Love that I've amassed
loot Love's store my heroine, my knave
release the riches 'fore my time has passed
what good is all this Love down in the grave?

You wear a target on you torso...in the shape of a heart. Quite a plea for release from passions bindings..I hope someone is listening.  Wonderful writing!

Yes what good is all that love in the grave?  Sometimes we tend to answer our own questions.  Be well.

The most valuable thing you own is a smile, wear it, and share it.

You really need to work on that shyness, HA!, (kidding).  Surely, an offer that cannot be refused!

Hit the nail on the head here. Money isn't the only thing we can't take with us to the grave, now is it? Hope all this love and passion you feel in returned in kind.
Peace,love,light and happiness
Tammy
