Old has been replaced with new175Please respect copyright.PENANAIy0H4mKsYH
New has been overshadowed by old
The crowd is made up of faces175Please respect copyright.PENANAdB6nra1bfN
That are both familiar and loved175Please respect copyright.PENANAmTZe2GOYoq
And foreign and feared
She stands in the middle of it all175Please respect copyright.PENANAShIDyvkHkk
Her smile is brilliant175Please respect copyright.PENANA6hUqX9NC4t
Her heart is radiant175Please respect copyright.PENANAYgYSXk672X
Her tears are invisible175Please respect copyright.PENANA4l2vB03b6Z
And still she dances for them
Do you see those beautiful ribbons of red175Please respect copyright.PENANAeqZQwKwuRs
That pour from her fingertips and her palms and her soles?175Please respect copyright.PENANActDujlmGh2
Do you hear her laughter175Please respect copyright.PENANAkVu6XQ6vU4
Filled with ecstasy and hysteria and fear and fun?175Please respect copyright.PENANAhxUcfRBdVv
Do you even notice her?
She175Please respect copyright.PENANAatMeKdDYfU
With her (barely) worn smile175Please respect copyright.PENANA02HMsqtkeJ
She175Please respect copyright.PENANAYE3u2I9rO3
With her (sluggishly) graceful movements175Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ0Ya0htUT
She175Please respect copyright.PENANAuCFlj9mYWt
With her eyes that burn like the dying stars —
Out, until they are nothing175Please respect copyright.PENANA8fR1m2W7MF
But unseen masses in the midst of what they once were175Please respect copyright.PENANAUjcnxIEpC9
Galaxies that disappear like mist in the midst of day
She is quickly replaced with another175Please respect copyright.PENANAwc2I9xvUNK
Though they will never find another quite like her
