" Stars "

the stars are out

and all i see

are the tears of all

who pass on before me



each sparkle in the sky

reminds me of

each twinkle in

every sad eye

that has ever cried



i've never seen

so much pain

when i look at the stars

and even though

they seem so close

they are in fact away very far

Almost every time i look at the stars I want to cry, so i put my feelings into my writting.

i think i got something out of this other than your actual meaning, but that's the great thing about poetry. the many interpretations. anyhow, it seemed like you were saying you could relate to many others who have felt the same sadness as you. i like the metaphoric use.
