First item! Congratulations! You chose a topic, I think, that demonstrates transparency and emotional vulnerability, a topic that will resonate with many. (I long ago gave up on closure, but am still searching for meaning.) I really admire your use of imagery; you've rendered the scene and setting quite powerfully. In fact, I several times paused, and then reread a sentence or several, simply to enjoy and savor the imagery. I was especially amazed by this particularly glorious phrase: "catching these stars before they could crash land inside my skull, the words screeching from my lips: 'Look up, through the trees to feel as small as you can'."

I might give it a quick spin through a grammar/spell checker just to be on the safe side, but you've got something powerful going here.
