Old has been replaced with new172Please respect copyright.PENANAxtIf2EVmuf
New has been overshadowed by old
The crowd is made up of faces172Please respect copyright.PENANARN4A020aVy
That are both familiar and loved172Please respect copyright.PENANALYkBlIaUM5
And foreign and feared
She stands in the middle of it all172Please respect copyright.PENANAawNfKTvG2f
Her smile is brilliant172Please respect copyright.PENANAWtdGCmk3UE
Her heart is radiant172Please respect copyright.PENANAqkoB9ADmS7
Her tears are invisible172Please respect copyright.PENANA4dMUkvRhK7
And still she dances for them
Do you see those beautiful ribbons of red172Please respect copyright.PENANAQatV5OjP4X
That pour from her fingertips and her palms and her soles?172Please respect copyright.PENANAX0Gwm8vzdW
Do you hear her laughter172Please respect copyright.PENANAJUNYOgssD9
Filled with ecstasy and hysteria and fear and fun?172Please respect copyright.PENANAihegACDIUT
Do you even notice her?
She172Please respect copyright.PENANA8aWZBxnclj
With her (barely) worn smile172Please respect copyright.PENANAQFlUzJ5Bgf
She172Please respect copyright.PENANAGUhoMfru4Z
With her (sluggishly) graceful movements172Please respect copyright.PENANAuMR9X2Byr4
She172Please respect copyright.PENANABz2KMBQPmp
With her eyes that burn like the dying stars —
Out, until they are nothing172Please respect copyright.PENANASquZu9VwLt
But unseen masses in the midst of what they once were172Please respect copyright.PENANAeQA9udbyGM
Galaxies that disappear like mist in the midst of day
She is quickly replaced with another172Please respect copyright.PENANASMrw5te2nF
Though they will never find another quite like her
