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
