"Echoes of the Oubliette"
In the dim-lit depths where shadows cling
I stumbled lost into the oubliette's sting
Stone walls whispered secrets ancient and cold
A forgotten chamber where memories unfold
The trapdoor slammed shut sealing my fate
Echoes of despair reverberate
No sunlight no stars just the drip of time
In this abyss I pen my final rhyme
Oh the oubliette a silent tomb
Where dreams decay and hope meets its doom
I trace the cracks in the dampened stone
Waiting for oblivion to claim my bones
The rats scuttle by their eyes devoid of grace
As I etch my story on the walls a desperate embrace
The air grows thin my breath a fading wisp
In this subterranean silence I reminisce
The world above spins on unaware
While I unravel memories threadbare
Did I stumble or was I pushed I wonder
Into this abyss where time tears asunder?
Oh the oubliette a silent tomb
Where dreams decay and hope meets its doom
I trace the cracks in the dampened stone
Waiting for oblivion to claim my bones
Perhaps I was a thief a lover or a fool
Now reduced to echoes a forgotten pool
The stars mock me from beyond the veil
As I pen my elegy my final tale
Oh the oubliette a silent tomb
Where dreams decay and hope meets its doom
I trace the cracks in the dampened stone
Waiting for oblivion to claim my bone
And so I linger a specter of regret
In this timeless void where memories fret
The oubliette cradles me its captive sigh
As I fade away swallowed by the night
