darkness, darkness, cold, alone
hide behind the blankets You said cold the line before, yet you hide beneath blankets. That's illogical, unless of course you have cheap blankets. May I suggest substituting "numb" for "cold?"
clutch your pillow, cover your face Ah, this line brings me back to halcyon days. *insert sarcasm here* My jokes aside, this a strong line with relatable content
"Help me, help me!"
You scream, yet you hear nothing but silence instead of "yet you hear nothing but silence", I would shorten it, saying "You screamed,  only answered with echoes" 
Falling, lonesome, down the harrowing abyss a tad melodramatic for the situation, a situation that isn't clear to me as a reader
Does no one hear me? Will no one help me? "Does no one hear me" seems to be a cliche of the misunderstood and depressed [teenage] folk. But if no one else says anything, forget i mentioned it.
 
Help me to step out from the dark, more imagery in this line would help make a more powerful and gripping poem
to feel the sun shine on my face,
to feel its warmth in my heart.
Help me step out of this shadow of memory,
out from the cold, abysmal yearning of my soul what memory does you soul yearn for and cling on to? It is unclear. Is it love, a faithful friend's passing, a lost experience or pleasure, etc. ?
and become safe again. omit this line maybe?
and become whole again.
It's a good poem, but as a reader I am left curious, wondering what spurred such powerful feelings of sadness. My comments are bolded above. Thanks for the read!

I prefer to be as forgettable as possible.
