Fill in the Blank

i've been here before.
it's very dark but the feeling i'm given is the feeling i took like last time.
just like a familiar face
their batteries never work but
they change my mind
as they force to fit
leaving yet another crater
of questions that do not require answers,
they just leave you dumbfounded.
in the picture i'm sitting in
the one my mommy took
i am wrapped in terrycloth
i can still smell the chlorine on my skin
that day i'm not sure if i told you
i took myself for a fool
and it occurred to me
i didn't seem sure your arms would suffice much longer

i went blind for several years
until i wasn't strong enough anymore
and suddenly
i could no longer be content with my independence
but i wont ever allude to that
i guess i shouldn't
right?

if i am not stuck in my coming hours
i will not forget the moment after
the click
of your freshly exposed film
when i started begging for peace
or whatever you wanna call it.
