    my heart is like
    an overturned inkwell.
    slowly spreading it's stain
    until nothing but black remains.

    Quite an image! Four lines and in them distilled something as hard as experience and intangible as the human psyche.

    Loved it to pieces...though some of the punctuation bothered me a bit, I think you should make this as one sentence. Short but punchy and oh so true.

    Thank you. I was going to fix the punctuation, but it didn't seem right for some reason. I wrote this when I was at work months ago.
