You Are My Heart

I sit in the dark
alone
but not.

My thoughts
turn to you
and how
what I feel
for you
is enough
to keep me warm
in ways you
never will.

My heart
grows thick
and calloused
with affection,
hardened
to the outside
but overflowing
with everything
that is you.

I am moved
to tears
at how full
I am
with love
for a man
who
will not
cannot
love me back.

Infinity
is not long enough
to love
you,
but it is
where
my love
begins.
