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.

In a way, this creeps me out, because it perfectly describes a previous situation I was in.

Like, can someone play the "Twilight Zone" theme for me here?

I really liked it. I admit when i read the title i didnt think it would be very good. But i love how the words just came together. I especially love the precious jerk part. It adds more meaning. Good job!

I love this poem; it is so very relatable. It flows well, and the short, rhymed lines are perfectly structured. If you get a chance, I would appreciate some feedback on my poetry. Thanks for sharing!
