i like this poem, and several of the lines i liked especially, including:
Cause your rejection
Shook my walls
So hard
That the ceiling
Came slamming down .......................very easy to picture. sounds like my stepdaughter's woe. : (
and:
There are only
One set of hands
That can mend these
Shards..................................though i would write IS ONLY ONE not are only one
and:
He's the one that
Let me fall
And still
He cares
Not one bit
Not at all

my online research claims that dieing, MANY years ago, may have been the 'accepted' spelling for DYING (which is what you want to use in this poem, UNLESS you want to be different and claim poetic license) .
******* to confuse matters more, perhaps, :
DIEING DOES mean: :
To cut, form, or stamp with or as if with a die.
AND:
DYEING means: to stain something with color,
AND OF COURSE dying, dieing, and dyeing are pronounced the same way (or at least they are by ME) ! ! !

and look for a typo in
Then I'd be a light
To bright for your...
- - - - - - - - -
and:
[yes, i'm picky. i don't mean to offend, but just to be helpful. i hope you are NOT offended. please let me know if you are.]
in these lines:
Within my veins
My body screams to me
Your heart is physically
Dieing
i believe more punctuation in the poem would help readers like me to NOT start to read them as two separate sentences: .....................
Within my veins my body screams to me.....AND..... Your heart is physically dieing [sic]. [[ IF THESE WERE SEPARATE SENTENCES, it might be interpreted as if it is not the speaker's heart which is dying, but the heart of another (the bad guys?) . ]]
......................when i THINK YOU WANT THE LINES READ AS one sentence:
Within my veins my body screams to me Your heart is physically dieing [sic].
