heart of a prisoner osi #120 oubliette

 
dark lanes lead to me

unlit halls hark back

musty stone walls

line my heart

torture me

fortifications preserved

in a forgotten place

oubliette free me

    A great sense of desolation in this.

    Ah, nicely said - the prompt does lead one to darker spots whether or not they exist!
