Soft, easy to walk on
Pleasant, comfortable
Familial, forgettable
That's carpet.
Hateful, vengeful
Frustrated, ill-intentioned
Always mentioned, enfuriating
That's toxic.
Please love me.
Will you listen to me?
How are you doing?
That's carpet.
Please love me.
I'm empty.
I need you.
That's toxic.
I love you,
I'll do anything for you!
Please command me.
That's carpet.
I deal with your idiocies
I deal with your standards
I conform to fit inside your image.
That's toxic.
Can you hug me in front of
All of these people?
So that they know I'm worth something?
That's carpet.
After you listen to me,
I'll say I'm useless.
I'll say it's not your fault.
That's toxic.
I don't want to ***,
I don't want to talk,
I want you to trust me and tell me everything.
That's carpet.
All I want is ***,
All I need is some warm body.
Give me the fuel I've run out of.
That's toxic.
I'll give you everything
And do whatever you want
For whatever feigned love you can muster.
That's carpet.
I'm ready to conform.
Give me drugs and let me tighten up
While you let loose and accidentally love me.
That's toxic.
I'll text you back immediately.
And patiently await your response.
Rejoice in this moment you did for me.
That's carpet.
Give me advice.
So I can shoot you down.
So I can let you down.
So I can let you drown.
In my toxic civil war
Where I knew no solution would come
From my internal struggle.
But you took a side
And felt the wrath of one of my forces.
I can't help you.
Leave me alone.
That's toxic.
I walk around
By myself late at night.
I text you and say I need you.
Don't worry about where I am.
I needed to be alone,
But now I don't.
I just escaped misery and wanted to
Find you.
Find me,
Or I'll run away.
Block me,
So I can fester.
That's carpet.
Let me give you a million compliments.
Easily.
While you find one for me
And slip a shark a steak
Even though he'll always be hungry.
Sharks barely ever **** humans,
But they're so scary.
It's the hunger, it's the image.
It's not the behavior.
It's not.
The image is hunger.
Always give me more.
That's toxic.
I serve.
I help.
I pleasure, assist, provide
I care, then I care more.
Then I go home and rub off
The disappointment and fear of alone.
Then I care more.
And I wait for the love I give
To come to me.
And I think it will.
That's carpet.
Leave me alone.
Be honest.
That's what I need.
Let your honesty drown you
Because I'm honest too.
And I'll open up the floodgates,
Without remorse.
Sorry if you drown.
I overthink, bottle up, and overshare.
That's toxic.
Please love me.
Please act with me,
Act out the fantasies I have planned.
And re-enact the ones I did.
I'm toxic.
I'm carpet.
That's me.
