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.

Very true sometimes with relationships. You can't get out of it even though its bad. Loved the poem and it had a nice pattern to it.

There are too many phrases that don&#039;t make sense! Such as- &quot;Today has been a long day.&quot; Hello? Each day is 24 hrs, last time I checked. And &quot;No news is good news.&quot; Umm... what if they were kidnapped? Or they were murdered? Stupid English language.
