Old has been replaced with new165Please respect copyright.PENANA5zpbI8yfPn
New has been overshadowed by old
The crowd is made up of faces165Please respect copyright.PENANAKcarQmWnpZ
That are both familiar and loved165Please respect copyright.PENANAFhYsyMSiIL
And foreign and feared
She stands in the middle of it all165Please respect copyright.PENANAZtMrTUbTVJ
Her smile is brilliant165Please respect copyright.PENANA6CoEUDVF7V
Her heart is radiant165Please respect copyright.PENANAGtVMt9CZDJ
Her tears are invisible165Please respect copyright.PENANAaMwCk4XxwH
And still she dances for them
Do you see those beautiful ribbons of red165Please respect copyright.PENANAzSYQpGqP8L
That pour from her fingertips and her palms and her soles?165Please respect copyright.PENANACpM41Jbv8U
Do you hear her laughter165Please respect copyright.PENANA0sXyc8StOH
Filled with ecstasy and hysteria and fear and fun?165Please respect copyright.PENANAVDY91SU0Mb
Do you even notice her?
She165Please respect copyright.PENANAoaP7F8pTpy
With her (barely) worn smile165Please respect copyright.PENANAQmLOl6LuGu
She165Please respect copyright.PENANA4NajUhO3fb
With her (sluggishly) graceful movements165Please respect copyright.PENANAWA2HYImwNv
She165Please respect copyright.PENANADh1a1Uuf9T
With her eyes that burn like the dying stars —
Out, until they are nothing165Please respect copyright.PENANARzKxzGEtPG
But unseen masses in the midst of what they once were165Please respect copyright.PENANA0nvrxHzi9Q
Galaxies that disappear like mist in the midst of day
She is quickly replaced with another165Please respect copyright.PENANAc8WdBQwGYg
Though they will never find another quite like her
