I think Siken is apologizing for how things ended with someone he cared about, hence the metaphor to "the bottom of the stairwell." He's also admitting to loving an idea of someone rather than actually loving them because throughout the relationship, he controls how things go and they then do what he says and love him back.

(Did you know that in addition to being a poet Siken is a full-time social worker?)
