Old has been replaced with new164Please respect copyright.PENANA9XgEM1LSJ2
New has been overshadowed by old
The crowd is made up of faces164Please respect copyright.PENANAveWi0xsq1L
That are both familiar and loved164Please respect copyright.PENANATXhcgOGSdh
And foreign and feared
She stands in the middle of it all164Please respect copyright.PENANAzoQJ3qgp0a
Her smile is brilliant164Please respect copyright.PENANAkqSvm5Rndy
Her heart is radiant164Please respect copyright.PENANACwSZLfX4bh
Her tears are invisible164Please respect copyright.PENANAD5wt2NvL2m
And still she dances for them
Do you see those beautiful ribbons of red164Please respect copyright.PENANAZhUxgLkm84
That pour from her fingertips and her palms and her soles?164Please respect copyright.PENANANSuDvhVUQy
Do you hear her laughter164Please respect copyright.PENANA8Y9Iopi5fE
Filled with ecstasy and hysteria and fear and fun?164Please respect copyright.PENANAjrYUhwMrDo
Do you even notice her?
She164Please respect copyright.PENANARgKwzmiFTt
With her (barely) worn smile164Please respect copyright.PENANAsFAnbYixlM
She164Please respect copyright.PENANApIrvbPnDfq
With her (sluggishly) graceful movements164Please respect copyright.PENANAshQrf2NePM
She164Please respect copyright.PENANA8JRSPU8nk6
With her eyes that burn like the dying stars —
Out, until they are nothing164Please respect copyright.PENANAXX4GjkELVM
But unseen masses in the midst of what they once were164Please respect copyright.PENANARaXs0fh6T1
Galaxies that disappear like mist in the midst of day
She is quickly replaced with another164Please respect copyright.PENANAhaGZV5ZHiS
Though they will never find another quite like her
