cutting you out

Dear basement carpet:

I am sorry to say things aren't working out. Your padding isn't drying and your smell has gotten worse. I wish I could say "it's not you it's me," but really it is you.

I know you have provided warmth to the room an all those cold winter nights. And I know you have been with me since the beginning, which just makes this harder.

I am afraid that the only thing I can do at this point is cut you out. Not completely at first, I mean we can still be friends, but I will eventually move on and i suggest you do the same.

Yours,

Sarah
