Christmas Leftovers

I
wrapped
up this square
shape box for you in
hope that you will adore,
it took me longer to make than
ever before. I enclosed a constricted
envelope with advice for you to take. My
ambition for you, is that you will follow through
and take my words to heart. On this
Christmas day, I ask of you, one
simple favor,from me to you
please send me some
leftover
stew?

    Stewing in Thought

    This has an internal rhyme scheme that falls apart about half way through. I also initially thought we were going someplace romantic with this mysterious box and advise and such, but then all we end up with is stew. Is this some emotional stew leftover from a broken relationship of some sort? If so, it isn't clear from the poem. I wanted this to have a clear focus. I don't know what the box is, what's in it, and I'm not sure what "constricted" means in that sentence. The meaning isn't coming through for me. I'm sorry, but I'm just not getting this one. Perhaps a rewrite with a stronger focus that sustains itself to the end?
