Write a poem in ‘revorto’ form.

A reverto poem uses couplets that alternate between one highly poetic and one very unpoetic line. The form is meant to jar the reader from a sense of poetic beauty to something other.

To Love is to Lie

***note to reader: read whole poem, then the first line of each couplet, then the second line of each couplet*** My love, I've been waiting to tell you I'm not sure what to do. that your loyal gaze is all I need, yet I am so damn full of greed I yearn for your love and touch. and it just gives me such a rush. I dream of only you at night and I know it wasn't right, but I muse on what could be. please just stay with me.
