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 love how you wrote this poem for the majority of teenage girls to relate. Why is it that we are all attracted to jerks??

And hope can be your sword, slaying darkness with belief."

Ugh. This applies to my life right now...But very good poem! I really enjoyed it! (:
