about Silvia's journey from the sound booth at night to the scene
after the bus explosion.

having my poems rhyme lol. This is for a contest on one of my forums,
so please let me know what you think. And please, try to be

A flash of light
Her heart stood still
The defining moment
That changed her life
The voice in the shadows
Haunting her mind
Blurring the lines
Of present and past
The faceless beauty
Of quiet resolve
A master of language
Imprisoned by words
Her history frames her
In an ominous glow
No one will hear her
She's left all alone
Danger is lurking
She feels its cold breath
Through the cracks in the walls
Of what had been her life
One man holds the key
To breaking her fall
But he masks it with pain
Staying just out of reach
The water is rising
On the river between them
Her cries for help
Swallowed by waves
He sits in the silence
Just watching her break
And above all the lies
He now hears her call
Fighting the current
He reaches the shore
The tortured soul
Now safe in his arms
