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 really enjoyed this poem. Maybe, its because I can relate to it.

Who is to say what is good and what's bad poetry. It all depends on the person reading it.

I think the kind of people who type like you do are usually the kind of people who like this kind of poem, or the book "Twilight". Ugh.

I don't know about everyone else, but I didn't mean to sound "aggressive". I was just offering a critique of a poem that is overly adored. The only aggressive person here is you.

you all are stupid jerks who can't write. Get  a life instead of using teenink to take out your aggression.

I think she's just writing about love in really cliche and meaningless ways, and she's definitely not a good enough writer to make this even sound original.

omg I agree! why does everyone love this poem?? you can tell the poet is a really bad writer. maybe it's bcuz its simplistic and easy to relate to?

I hate it when terrible poetry like this is inexplicably adored by people who have no concept of what good poetry is, and only like it because they "can relate". This poem and all the attention it gets reminds me of Twilight-- and I mean that in the most negative way possible.

It's truly an awful poem, and I hate that some of the few good poems on this site get pushed to the side by something like this.
