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.

One of the funniest things about life is crying, it&#039;s suppose to be a sad feeling that you get when it happens. But then after you&#039;re done crying you feel like you have had someone come buy you and take you weight off your shoulders, so smile now.

I can relate so much! I'm falling for a jerk too. If I change soft brown hair to dark black hair then it completely absolutely applies to me.

And who are you to define what is and is not poetry? If you don't like it then fine--just spare those of us who do from your negative commentation.
