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.

This poem is perfect. The sad thing is that sometimes you just can't help loving a precious jerk.

This poem is okay, I liked the precious jerk line, that was very different and unique. I think I'd be able to relate to it better if I had a precious jerk!! But the writing was very well done and I really liked this poem! Check out mine too!! Good luck and keep writing!
