Oubliette

Inside the back of my mind is like an oubliette
A deep dark maze-like cell
where I put things I want to forget
I have tried to scream and shout
But once something is inside there
It's impossible for it to come out
Pitch in black
As black can be
As much as it tries
It can't set itself free
Broken hopes and dreams
And nightmares too
When thrown away into the oubliette of my making
It becomes awash with woe and forsaking
There's plenty of endless room in my oubliette
To lock away things i want to forget
