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 was good. Like Cjjeanne said, a little choppy. You need to work on your flow a little but otherwise, this is really good.

I agree with this. It has a good theme in it, but the way you exicuted the theme made me want to re-read it to make sure I didn't miss anything. Maybe go back and figure out what you could do/add to make it better.

I'll admit that it is a little choppy but I do really like it. Maybe go back and see what you can add to make it better.

Tell me my words mean nothing to you, and one day they will become a poem, and that poem will be on the page of a book, which will one day sit on the bookshelf in your nursing home, and maybe you will smile. And just maybe that smile will be one of approval, or maybe realization, happy to know you were wrong. Happy that your criticism made me stronger, a better writer even. Maybe you will feel accomplished.

This is good, but it seems a little...juvenile? However it is short, sweet and to the point.
