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 agree i think the use of the word "jerk" could have been delivered with more then just a punchline wit. 

the things I hold
so close to me
and yet you’re the
best jerk I see.

by the end I can only take the character you've created at face value when I want to see so much more of him.

I do love the use of the word in stanza two:

I love your laugh,
your cocky smirk,
your stupid jokes.
You precious jerk,

much more depth in meaning and metaphor.

i disagree, i thought it was cute, but the way you broke up the poem was a little confusing. other than that, great job.

Dont let the life you were born into define you, but let your dreams and passions drive you to greatness.

It was unique and expressive and i agree with demetria you should give constructive criticism. Each writer writes differently so each poem that is written has its own deep meaning.

I think it is cute... and the ryhming is good,

but it seems so simple, and a  rather common thing for teenagers to write about.
