Heart Shaped Box Poem by Jerry Buckley

One long stemmed rose should indicate indifference
toward these my joys in you discovered.
No valentine's dozen, nor floral arrangement,
disposed to complement one another.

This store bought card, such cliche unfolds,
envelops muted appreciations
for all you've encountered, were the whole story told.
all he trials and the tribulations.

One heart shaped box thumps incessantly true,
in piques and pulses until it's sore.
Long past searching for anything novel or new,
it lays daffodils at your door.
