Neptune Girl
Red ribbons are dancing away from braided hair
Floating softly to cold hardwood floor
Happy to be free of bow, ties, and knots, forever
Disappear safe and sound beneath the couch
The ribbons' best friends
Are a pair of lonely white gloves
Stuffed to the bottom of a drawer forgotten
Watching the seasons come and go but were always waiting
The lonely white gloves were remembered today
They sang a song as they ventured outside
To greet the first snowflake falling from the sky
The girl who wears these gloves has a name
The people, they call her Neptune Girl
For she walks the Earth but lives on Neptune
Her mind is elsewhere, she sees music and touches sweetness
Earth betrayed her, freezing her fondest memories in sheets of ice
So Neptune Girl is somewhere else
When Neptune Girl returns home
She is greeted by a friendly monster
The other children run when it roars to life
Neptune Girl is the only one who understands
It is only there to keep them warm
The friendly monster
While the monster fades to the background
Children are imagining much scarier things
They envelope a beautiful city with fear
Thinking of the time it took for the skyscrapers to rise
Towering and Cowering
Distainfully they are brought to the ground
Admiring the Legos, all over the hardwood floor
They go to work building all over again
Neptune girl is far from the City of Destruciton
Neptune girl is searching for her red ribbons
But they are nowhere to be found
