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
