The deep dark shadows of your mind, teasing me.
Taunting me.
Confusing my emotions.
Wondering what you're thinking, whether or not you believe the words coming out of your mouth.
Wanting to trust you.
Wanting you to heal my broken heart.
But further my heart crumbles.
Further it tears.
Bleeding with the innocence of my existence.
Torn apart by tainted trust...

Woaw!! Strong words.. This is a powerful piece.. well written..

Only one thing.. (sorry.. hehe can't help myself ^_^) umm.. u might like to shorten the 4th line, I believe this poem would have more impact, the briefer you keep it.. like with the other lines.. perhaps.. rearrange the others slightly? something like..

The deep dark shadows of your mind,
Teasing, taunting me,
Confusing my emotions.
Wondering what you're thinking,
("whether or not you believe the words coming out of your mouth.")???
Wanting to trust you.
Wanting you to heal my broken heart.
But further my heart crumbles,
Further it tears,
Bleeding with the innocence
Of my existence;
Torn apart by tainted trust...

Well, sorry for 'mangling' your poem like this.. but, u don't have to take any notice of it.. hehe.. ^_^

It is good, anyway..
