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.

&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;

i agree i think the use of the word "jerk" could have been delivered with more then just a punchline wit. 

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

by the end I can only take the character you've created at face value when I want to see so much more of him.

I do love the use of the word in stanza two:

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

much more depth in meaning and metaphor.

i disagree, i thought it was cute, but the way you broke up the poem was a little confusing. other than that, great job.

It was unique and expressive and i agree with demetria you should give constructive criticism. Each writer writes differently so each poem that is written has its own deep meaning.
