hallmark heart

My heart was a square box,
but I put so much of you in it 
it went all the way round. 

Then atop it shrugged, 
two rounded humps,
and at bottom

it grew 
a point.

Now my heart is red,
papered round in lace.
It's an offering to you,
and I repent of

everything
I ever said about
cliché. 

You 

make cliche 
come true, and mean 
what it was always
supposed 

to do.
