This was a very interesting poem. It had emotional impact.

In your third line you put dash after 'the' and it confused me. I figure you meant it to be a pause, but the next line starting with a capital letter made me wonder. Maybe less capitals and more punctuation will make it easier on the reader to get the right hints as to pauses, thus increasing understanding. Maybe put a comma after the word twinkling.

Sadness, it made my heart heavy. I got pulled in and you held my attention. I may have heard of stars being tears before, but this was very poignant.

Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
