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.

No need for dishonesty. Why would someone want to be with a jerk in the 1st place. Wouldn't that defeat the purpose in being in a relationship. And let Dr.Seus be the king of rhyme. You obviously cannot do it like him.
