Old has been replaced with new168Please respect copyright.PENANAgMuPX7KC4d
New has been overshadowed by old
The crowd is made up of faces168Please respect copyright.PENANAekc3U4mvLW
That are both familiar and loved168Please respect copyright.PENANAdF3SxVxQBg
And foreign and feared
She stands in the middle of it all168Please respect copyright.PENANA5YL04Bv8k3
Her smile is brilliant168Please respect copyright.PENANAIkUeSuGMd9
Her heart is radiant168Please respect copyright.PENANABUw0gzDsih
Her tears are invisible168Please respect copyright.PENANAelQR4wfl4i
And still she dances for them
Do you see those beautiful ribbons of red168Please respect copyright.PENANAdattMjAHmG
That pour from her fingertips and her palms and her soles?168Please respect copyright.PENANAhH8Ojkme0T
Do you hear her laughter168Please respect copyright.PENANA4d0H2Oxd48
Filled with ecstasy and hysteria and fear and fun?168Please respect copyright.PENANAyDFNY2Va2X
Do you even notice her?
She168Please respect copyright.PENANAk68cHYOrnC
With her (barely) worn smile168Please respect copyright.PENANAeBwaB6vdjz
She168Please respect copyright.PENANAygIlVTldiW
With her (sluggishly) graceful movements168Please respect copyright.PENANAa83ym4bZcA
She168Please respect copyright.PENANAAZ9hvs1j4s
With her eyes that burn like the dying stars —
Out, until they are nothing168Please respect copyright.PENANAhxZC2n5o9N
But unseen masses in the midst of what they once were168Please respect copyright.PENANALzURMCE91s
Galaxies that disappear like mist in the midst of day
She is quickly replaced with another168Please respect copyright.PENANANJSkvAXPCJ
Though they will never find another quite like her
