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 like that you put this out there, FilmNut. A lot of the time, people only get the filr's side of the story and not the guy's. I think that girls just say that guys are jerks because of one or two bad experiences with a few lousy dudes. Although, I can't really say that I haven't done that myself. But seriously, thank you for speaking your mind. I've never heard what a guy thinks, so this is kinda nice. :)

haha this is entertaining. even though i am a boy. not all guys are jerks you know lol. but anyways, i like how you mix in the love for his looks and your despise for his actual love. pretty ironic in my eyes at how you want to be with him so bad yet you hate him.

I agree not all guys are jerks ppl just group all us together from a few bad experinces. Some guys are nice you just have look for them not the bad ones. But on the other hand i do like this poem it has a point. i enjoyed reading it.

You're right some guys aren't jerks, but sometimes the guys who are actual niceguys date the wrong girls. or soometimes the guys will close themselves off and then the girls think theres something wrong with them.
