<p>

It isn’t that <br>
you don’t provide.<br> 
It’s more you choosing <br>
to forget to tell me <br>
that you’d had a few<br> 
too many; <br>
seemed much better <br>
as his couch was free, <br>
to wait until I’d given up <br>
and gone to bed <br>
before you tiptoed in <br>
and woke me.<br>
You seem intent <br>
on staring at the floor<br>
in this early morning <br>
gloom; <br>
is there something <br>
in your eye, <br>
a fading light perhaps.<br>
And that smell, is that <br>
my kind on your skin?<br>
