A bed full of glitter before my eyes sends my mind into another galaxy, worlds away, my heart's escape.           the reader to a gradient of despair you refer to later on.

Precipitation greets my skin like an old friend.
Paint chips are memories that float away like dust on the wind.

Harsh words pour into my ears like sand through an hourglass;                                                                        Lovely image!
filling my head as time dwindles away.

I am as no one passing through to a reservation for pushing daisies.                                                             I've changed the formatting for these couple stanzas so comment-
                                                                                                                                                                     ing would be easier. For reader's pleasure, i'd recommend you 
Time stretches on for days like a runaway train.                                                                                             doing the same.
Regrets consume me like yesterday's scraps;
a thick cloud of angst enters my lungs as they beg for release.                                                                      Perhaps add a comma after 'passing'? (couple lines above)
                                                                                                                                                                    
Fear intercepts rationality and it envelopes me inside of itself like a letter to someone long forgotten.
Familiarity is like a stranger to me as all I have known is a shadow of who I have become.                            Lovely play on words with familiarity/stranger                   

The burden weighs heavy on my soul as I hear a forlorn melody whispered into my lips;

"Come out and play," coax the ghosts of my past.

My insecurities faltering, whisking me away into another life.
On the other side of the sheets I am as I was, once.

My heart gives way to despair.

Did I really know all along?                                                                                                                    I think that by turning the question into a statement (for example; but I                                                                                                                                                              knew all  along) would increase the gravity of the poem, thus fitting the [b]                                                                                                                                                               theme of  despair more.[/b]
All in all, this is a great piece of work. It struck a certain emotional chord with me that made me appreciate the Poem even more.  as i especially adore plays on words, i'm happy to have found a couple here. Please keep writing, as i'm looking forward to your next work!
