I experienced a pretty traumatic experience and this poem reflects that. I'm alright though and nobody was fatally hurt. The person referenced has made a full recovery.

The world stopped for you
Everything was still
Everyone was dead silent
There were no sounds, no noises
But then he started crying
You started screaming
Just screaming and screaming
And everything went down
Down
Down
Below
Six feet under the ground below
I vaguely remember running to you
Yelling your name
I don't remember
Supporting you as you fell
Carrying you to a place where you could sit
Down
Down
Down
Below
I was told I did
I must have done it
But time did not exist in that room
Never before have I seen someone collapse like that
You couldn't even stand up straight
Three people had to carry you
Never before have I heard someone cry out
In such a broken voice
Like you were on the edge of mentality itself
About to fall
Down
Down
Down
Below
You did not faint
You were awake
And yet you seemed so far away
So far gone
In the stillness of the theater
The quiet of the fear
Everything halted as if in reverence and honor
Of one greater than all
Of one with such talent
Of one precious soul about to break
The world stopped for you
