I love your voice,
your soft brown hair.
I love your eyes
and love your stare.

I love your laugh,
your cocky smirk,
your stupid jokes.
You precious jerk,

you know I do.
I want my hands
all through your hair
each treasured strand.

I’m wrapped around
your finger still.
Am I yet yours?
Your love does kill

the things I hold
so close to me
and yet you’re the
best jerk I see.

reminds me of my ex boyfriend. he was the jerk of all jerks. abused me in any way he possibly could. every single way. i like your line about his love killing the things you hold close to you. he's so irresistible, but we don't know why. how can this be when he treats me this way? thank god i am out of that relationship. thank god i made it out alive. this is an extreme case, but girls, just stay away from jerks anyways, you never know how they can turn out to be. i never want to see someone getting hurt like i was. walk away from him.  please

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.So love the people who treat you right, forget the ones that dont.Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it&#039;d be worth it.

&quot;Fall in love or fall in hate. Get inspired or be depressed. Ace a test or flunk a class. Make babies or make art. Speak the truth or lie and cheat. Dance on tables or sit in the corner. Life is divine Chaos. Embrace it. Forgive yourself. Breathe.&quot;
