Unsteady
Yesterday I tried to draw you
But my hand wasn't steady enough
I couldn't capture the lines of your body
Or the contours of your face
My memory held a perfect picture
But I was unable to execute your essence on paper
Even the color of my pencil seemed dull
I tried to think of your energy
Think of how it feels
When it engulfs me
But my mind just drew a blank
I tried to wrap my mind around your strength
But then I felt too weak
I closed my eyes
And tried to envision your smile and your almost perfect teeth
But my sight just became blurry
Why can't I draw the man that is in my heart?
Why can't I feel the love burned in my soul?
Because it's unsteady
