Old has been replaced with new162Please respect copyright.PENANAnDVUc6RS2C
New has been overshadowed by old
The crowd is made up of faces162Please respect copyright.PENANA2lWxcuysjR
That are both familiar and loved162Please respect copyright.PENANAI5qhjuESDj
And foreign and feared
She stands in the middle of it all162Please respect copyright.PENANAElNUltQxcH
Her smile is brilliant162Please respect copyright.PENANAMRH97XUhLv
Her heart is radiant162Please respect copyright.PENANAwRTXg4ME3Y
Her tears are invisible162Please respect copyright.PENANAyXR5bttaYf
And still she dances for them
Do you see those beautiful ribbons of red162Please respect copyright.PENANAO7qBtqUfTe
That pour from her fingertips and her palms and her soles?162Please respect copyright.PENANAiJ8gm3OecZ
Do you hear her laughter162Please respect copyright.PENANAtXXNo6ihLG
Filled with ecstasy and hysteria and fear and fun?162Please respect copyright.PENANANVD37b33Ud
Do you even notice her?
She162Please respect copyright.PENANArTIVDqrsEA
With her (barely) worn smile162Please respect copyright.PENANAYByswG8NPq
She162Please respect copyright.PENANAh2YCsAm1r1
With her (sluggishly) graceful movements162Please respect copyright.PENANAqZF4SUILJc
She162Please respect copyright.PENANAFi5a6iGJ2Q
With her eyes that burn like the dying stars —
Out, until they are nothing162Please respect copyright.PENANAOftICKV2aj
But unseen masses in the midst of what they once were162Please respect copyright.PENANAfeHh9IcFFr
Galaxies that disappear like mist in the midst of day
She is quickly replaced with another162Please respect copyright.PENANAetUYPpgmnd
Though they will never find another quite like her
