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.

Jerk,this was a very calming and soothing poem. The author showed their true feelings about that person which really touched my heart.

I really don't think she was "too harsh" for calling you a judgemental jerk. Honestly, she could of called you much worse. What she wrote is really good. Just because your reading it doesn't mean you have to think 'oh my goodness! oh my god! she's talking about me!? I better stand up for the jerks around here cause they deserve more for being lying, romantic, jerks like myself'. yeah, I don't know if that's you. But seriously. If you didn't like her piece, you didn't have to tell her and you didn't have to turn your comment into a rant of your problems of needing a Phychiatrist. Grow up.

Anyone can give up, it&#039;s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, now that&#039;s true strength.

Totally relatable!  Great job.  This is beautiful but seems to have a bit of sarcastic humor too.  Love it!

I know exactly how you feel. Its like, you love him, but you're almost mad at yourself for loving him because he's a jerk. THis has happened to me many times before. Keep on writing girl :)

I love this poem! I relate to it so much. You never realize what love you had until its gone.

This is so sweet. People don't know about love until it's said and done.
