The Two-Hour Trip of Regret

Looking back, I see moments I stumbled on myself,
Hours of waiting where I despised my kind soul.
The six-minute hug meant to be compassionate
Turned into thirty minutes outside your door.
Waiting for us, for me to mend the situation,
Self-loathing grew from within, or perhaps you sowed.
I took a two-hour trip, wondering if to fix myself or us,
But I never did; you wept, and I caved.
I fixed everything with your manipulative tears,
And that was when my life came to an end.
