Matthew Wants a New Blanket

the beginning was so bright.
sun rays casting through an open window
and shedding new light.
 
we swam under the cotton sea
and you said it felt like a movie.
we were so deeply in love.
 
with the fabric of us sprawled over your knees,
with a gentle hand smoothing its seams,
everything starts to unravel.

What a beautifully written tragedy. Should this piece be anything other than fiction, I hope Matthew's future holds naught but cold nights under thread-barren sheets, lol.
