I. Sincerely
To the girl that decided
my time
wasn't worth hers.
II. Declarations
I love you.
I miss you.
I care about you.
III. Present
All I wanted was your
presence,
but you consistently
faded.
IV. Attachment
You wanted me unattached,
but being unattached
I walk away.
V. Conditionally Unconditional
My conditions are
presence
loyalty.
Sorry I lied about unconditional.
VI. Someone
You've got time for someone.
Not me,
but for someone.
VII. Simply Enough
I cannot give my time
for those who do not.
VIII. Giving
You can't ever
get
what you're not willing
to give.
IX. Complete
I love wholly.
I don't switch.
It's all
or nothing.
X. Home
I tasted home upon your lips
where you tasted distance.
XI. Lost
I lost a home.
Another place
I called my own.
XII. Closed Doors
I knocked.
I jiggled the ****
No one ever answered.
XIII. Small Chapters
I was a page to you.
You were a chapter.
XIV. Discarded
A book forgotten upon a floor.
Pages torn, Chapter 1.
XV. Poetry
I turned you into poetry.
That's what you wanted,
right?
XVI. Past
I will write about you
long after you've been gone.
XVII. Self-Worth
I may have lost you,
but you lost me too.

Been writing these for a while now. The theme was obvious, so I figured it best to try to put them together cohesively.
