24) Protector

Somewhere in space, my very protector

fishing stars out of night's waters from

the many moons sat on, slept on with one eye  O P E N

to watch over me, who tries to be made of diamond

but really I'm a  F A K E  diamond of glass, fake sparkles,

fake shimmer, try and make you think I'm too precious to be touched

I don't want fingerprints over me, marks and stains,

Somewhere up in space, rests my dear protector

Picking stars out of the dark pool, sat

on a moon far away, in slumber but with one eye  O P E N

watching over the fake diamond.
