Old has been replaced with new160Please respect copyright.PENANA9KPIDfnrsA
New has been overshadowed by old
The crowd is made up of faces160Please respect copyright.PENANAYAA71WMdZx
That are both familiar and loved160Please respect copyright.PENANAqMzWtaF3QW
And foreign and feared
She stands in the middle of it all160Please respect copyright.PENANAz2S3eGuOuq
Her smile is brilliant160Please respect copyright.PENANAKAsdV62ZMH
Her heart is radiant160Please respect copyright.PENANAxiVQQX9b56
Her tears are invisible160Please respect copyright.PENANALdXIrBrSR6
And still she dances for them
Do you see those beautiful ribbons of red160Please respect copyright.PENANAKzfi6zD8fX
That pour from her fingertips and her palms and her soles?160Please respect copyright.PENANA9dw6DVdD8Q
Do you hear her laughter160Please respect copyright.PENANAo6VbXRR0U0
Filled with ecstasy and hysteria and fear and fun?160Please respect copyright.PENANA2gRgqatptE
Do you even notice her?
She160Please respect copyright.PENANAqcBJ4V1Eno
With her (barely) worn smile160Please respect copyright.PENANACJ1QQEGvkg
She160Please respect copyright.PENANAyBO4o7wmWL
With her (sluggishly) graceful movements160Please respect copyright.PENANAfCctVAsA5X
She160Please respect copyright.PENANAifAKB8xcmU
With her eyes that burn like the dying stars —
Out, until they are nothing160Please respect copyright.PENANA3pwMG0OrI5
But unseen masses in the midst of what they once were160Please respect copyright.PENANAF5yHQnXHTn
Galaxies that disappear like mist in the midst of day
She is quickly replaced with another160Please respect copyright.PENANAJURLEAgSGk
Though they will never find another quite like her
