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.

I could go on and on with a 500 hundred word comment, describing, in great detail, every little piece of your poem that I love. Or I can cut it down to two words. Love it! :) Check out some of my work? :)

LOVE THIS LOVE THIS LOVE THIS

I can relate so much to this, loved how you could rhyme without making the rhymes sounding forced. Absolutely amazing, while there's really no imagery or emotion, I totally get what's going on, I'm put into the narrators shoes and feel exactly as if they're words. They sound like they could be spoken so naturally, amazing, wonderful. Loved it so much.

this is a instantly classic way of showing that some people never get enough of people who are jerks. i never really got exactly why some people are like that.
