Description
you're an oxymoronyou know everything
(about history and works of literature)
you know nothing
(about love)
you know how to compliment
but never confirm it,
leaving us all to
wonder if you're actually
serious
you can't take a
compliment yourself
you're arrogant but
flinch when anyone talks of
a weakness of yours
you appreciate beauty but
refuse to see it in
yourself
you're high above in
intellectual discussions
you're awkward and
inexperienced in commonplace
conversations
if you think you're
so sexy, why do you
never talk about sex?
you hate those that
are different from you,
but hate it when
the same people hate
you for being different
you scoff at anyone's advice
but end up following it
you're pretentious beyond
belief, but roll your eyes
when anyone else dares
to be
sometimes I think you laugh
too loudly just to see my
reaction
sometimes I think you'll do
anything just to see my reaction
but you don't have too...
I'll pay attention to you
anyway
you're impossible to ignore,
and I think somehow your
hypocrisy is starting
to grow on me...

This is absolutely brilliant. My friend and I often joke around and call each other oxymorons, although I'm not entirely sure if certain people even comprehend the concept of it. XD;
In any case, this is amazing. You can relate to it, and not only is it true with various people, but it's also beautifully worded.
One mistake I spotted:
but you don't have too...
I'll pay attention to you
anyway
The 'too' should be 'to.'
Overall, this is a wonderful piece of poetry, and I'm rather jealous that I hadn't written it myself! Great work.

Heads-up - "too" in the penultimate stanza should be "to"
