Blue toes

Excuse me.
  my friends.

This is a story close to heart,
  and I can barely give it justice.

The hero drowned.

Rushed to the healers,
  and they tried,
    forcing air,
      trying to fetch a breath

I saw it,
  and young as I was,
    I knew.

I saw the blue toes.

He is not coming back.

I look at my friend,
  and he did not see what I saw.

Now,
  everything has changed.
