Here’s to you

This poetry page is dedicated to my best friend Forrest Lee Mendelsohn.  Most of the poems I wrote for him are on my home page but I decided to make a page on my blog just for him. RIP ❤️❤️ Forrest Lee Mendelsohn .

This page is for you. May your spirit and soul live on.

❤️Stars

Let the stars shine for you tonight,
Brighter than any other night,
Let the holiday spirit flow through you,
As I reminisce and think of you,

Let the sparkle and shine,
And all the tinsel and vine ,
Let the sky shine where you lay,
And bright up the sky when it’s grey ,

And when the spirit seems low,
Remember you shine and glow,
Even though this season , I’m not with you,
Life goes on to see you through.

❤️Fairytale.

When life has its ups and downs,
You make me smile and you turn it around,
You make life magical like a fairytale,
You encourage me when I feel like I’m a fail,

You make me feel like a princess,
Even if I’m not wearing a fancy dress,
You encourage me to be who I am,
Guiding me through my life’s traffic jam,

 You make me believe there’s a happily ever after,
When you captured ,
My heart you made me believe,
Anything can happen and everything can be achieved .

❤️Life with you

My thoughts flow like the river,
But the light in my soul is getting dimmer,
I miss the moments spend with you,
Sometimes I’m so lost I don’t know what to do,

My heart beats but it’s inconsistent,
Missing you is my constant persistent,
I miss the moments you and I had,
But living it with you makes me glad,

I will miss you like crazy everyday,
You brightened my day in every single way,
I’m going to live to the best of my ability without you,
Even if it’s hard I’ll make it through.

❤️Air

When I’m outside the air blows,
Through my hair and I know,
Your always there ,
And you’ll always care,

The air brushes my face,
Touching my heart in a warm embrace,
The wind blows hard when it rains,
Reminds me you feel pain,

And when I walk outside,
I feel you inside ,
I feel your soul comforting me,
Helping me through the rough seas.


❤️Choice 

It was your choice,

I not judging you ,but I can’t rejoice,

I disagree with your decision,

It was my vision ,

I hoped more for you,

I dreamed of all the things you could do,

I’m not saying it’s wrong,

But my heart is empty in song,

My mind was clearly mislead,

That I thought you were strong but instead ,

I was blinded by the fact you were sad,

Which makes me angry and mad,

and I know it’s your choice ,

I’m just expressing my voice,

I didn’t think it would end ,

The love of a dear friend. 

❤️The holidays

The holidays are drawing near,
I can’t stop thinking about you dear ,
I wish there was more I could do,
But now I’m missing you,

I think about you a lot,
Sometimes too much ,I get caught,
Caught in the moment of pain,
But it’s like a cycle , a game ,

The holidays won’t seem as merry,
Won’t seem as bright,
It won’t seem as happy ,
It will feel nothing but night.

❤️Maybe someday

I don’t know when,
But we will meet then,
And until I see your face,
Give Yourself a warm embrace,

When I see you ,
I hope to get through,
All the goals you wished for me,
And to be happy and glee,

And when I give you a hug,
I hope you can feel safe and snug,
And when that day comes around,
Let us be safe and sound,

But until then,
I’ll mourn you my friend,
I’ll remember your love for me,
And your strength and courage stronger than it will ever be.

❤️ Cried for you 

I cried for you today,

I can’t tell you how much I miss you, in so many ways,

My heart seems complete without you,

Cause you helped see me through,

I cried for you on the phone,

I told my mom I felt so alone,

My heart feels so bad,

And I feel so sad,

I cried for you when I remember the good times,

All the right stuff and the good rhymes,

I cried for you when you need a shoulder,

Now I can be your boulder,

And stand strong for you,

And see myself through. 

❤️In Shock

I still can’t believe your gone,
It’s like my life will never see its dawn,
My heart seems to still be in pieces,
As my tears fall and my emotions releases,

My body aches,
My heart breaks ,
As your gone , my life seems lost,
Like a cold , dream in frost,

My mind still can’t believe it’s true,
That I lost what I had of you,
I’m shocked ,angry and sad,
That your gone all I feel is mad.

❤️A new year

the new year is almost here,
And I miss not having you near,
I love every minute when we were together,
And now your gone , which seems like forever,

I’m scared to start a new,
Year without you,
But I need to be brave,
And let my emotions flow like a wave,

My heart constantly feels empty and lost,
Like frozen it’s frozen in frost,
My mind has you on the brain,
I know your gone but I’m insane,

I love you so much it’s hard to heal,
I know I have to be honest and real ,
But I still feel pain when your not around,
It’s a hallow empty sound.

❤️I don’t know

I don’t know when I’ll be ready ,
But I’m trying to keep my emotions steady,
And I don’t know when I’ll make it though,
Cause I’m so emotional, that Lost you ,

My heart will need time,
Coping with my rhymes,
My mind will need healing,
With art making it , so surrealing,

But I don’t know when,
I’ll feel quote on quote normal again,
But i know one things for sure,
I will find a cure,

To moving on,
Now that’s your gone,
But I don’t know, what will come of us,
But I just got to trust .

❤️I wish I was there more

I’m sorry I wasn’t there enough for you,
Im trying to be strong and tough like you do,
I was trying to be there for us two,
But I more focused on me , I couldn’t get through,

I’m trying to forgive myself for not spending more time,
But now I’m letting your soul
Live through my rhymes ,
I’m sorry I couldn’t be more understanding,
I was trying to be stable and have a easy landing ,

I don’t know a lot about drugs and your struggle,
But I was trying to help complete your puzzle,
I wanted to help make it easy,
But life made things not so breezy,

I wish I can make your life legacy live on ,
Now that your gone,
I’m trying to make it through,
As strong as you were , I love you.

❤️All I want and wish for you

All I want for you is to be loved,
Down here and above,
And all I want you to be is free,
Free from hate and pain as free as you can be,

During the night, I wish you a sweet rest,
And I wish you to create a nest,
A place where your nothing but happy,
I guess I wish you the best, not to be too sappy 😀,

I wish more happiness for you ,
I wish for you to be loved, you have no clue,
How much you are loved,
Down here and above.

❤️Rest In Peace 

I can’t bare the fact that your gone,

I don’t wanna admit it but you won,

Your gone and I have to move on,

But I still can’t believe it’s true, that your gone,

If you can rest peacefully, I can rest  assured ,

If your happy , I can be cured,

Cured from my endless battle of sadness,

That will eventually turn to gladness,

If you can lay in peace,

I can lay and release,

The sadness and smile,

Until the moments while ,

We are apart ,

Your always in my heart . 

❤️Lost child 

It hurts to the bone,

My heart is a cold as stone,

I’m in deep sadness and sorrow,

Some days are better, trying to get to tomorrow,

I still can’t believe your gone,

It’s a quick as the dark turning into dawn ,

I can’t bare the loneliness but I’m trying ,

God knows I’ve been crying ,

You were my rock in rough times ,

My happiness and the source to my rhymes,

I can’t believe it’s only been a while,

But it’s like it’s forever , I feel like a lost child. 

❤️Now that your gone 

Life seems different now that your not around,

It’s like the world is now quiet nothing makes a sound,

And when I’m feeling down,

You know how to brighten up the town,

And when I need a hand,

You lend me yours and help me stand ,

Cause life just seemed easy with you,

Cause you helped me get through,

And at night when I was scared,

You were always there,

To hold me tight,

And reassure me everything’s alright,

And now that your gone for good,

Nothing is like it should,

My days seem longer,

Although I’m trying to be stronger. 

❤️Remember me 

I love you don’t forget that,

And every now and then I miss our great chats ,

But life seems to be passing me by,

Cause I’m incomplete without you as I cry ,

I linger in our memories and thoughts,

And every now and then I get caught,

Caught in the moments of the past,

As I wish they would last,

I want the story to never end,

And I love being your friend,

But life is going by and by ,

As your gone now it’s just I. 

❤️Message in a bottle 

There are so many things I wish I could say to you,

All the things we could of done, just us two,

All the stories left unwritten,

Now it’s all gone missing,

All the memories we’ve haven’t shared,

All the new memories and your not there,

And all the nights without your calls,

All the days alone when night falls,

A new year without you,

I don’t know how to begin a new,

Life without you by my side,

It’s like you left and flied,

Here’s to you my message from below,

I just wanna let you know, 

I miss all the times we’ve spent together,

I just wish it was forever. 

❤️A stroll down memory lane 

The sky is like a beautiful painting of your face,

The wind is like a warm embrace,

The birds fly , singing their sweet song,

Reminding me to stay strong,

The lake looks so beautiful as the sun sets,

As I feel warm lying near you as I rest,

The sky is blue and warm inside,

As my fear no longer has to hide,

The memories flash through my head ,

Thinking about you in bed,

As I remember you , I think of before,

And wished there were more,

More moments , more time,

More poems of you , more rhymes,

I imagine you here every day ,

Life with you , I’m blessed in every way. 

❤️It’s hard 

It’s hard to move on,

Now that your gone,

It’s hard to feel whole,

When you were my goal,

My life seems misspent,

And now I must repent  ,

Cause your gone and way,

And I’m alone each day,

It’s hard to go on,

When will life get better, now your gone,

My heart cries,

As my soul dies,

Cause I miss your hugs,

When I was with you I felt snug,

It’s hard to move on ,

Now that your gone. 

❤️You were perfection 

Part of me will never heal,

Cause the emotions were so very real,

I’ll never find someone like you,

Who knew just how to get me through,

The dark times you were my savior,

You always gave me a favor,

I’ll never find a heart like yours,

Cause  you opened so many doors,

My heart hurts every moment I think of you,

And I know you love me too,

But time without you seems lost,

As my heart seems cold as frost ,

My mind keeps on rewinding,

As I keep reminding ,

Myself your always with me,

For now and eternity. 

❤️ As long as theirs hope 

as long as there is you and me,

I wouldn’t want anything to be,

Different, cause as long as I have you in my heart,

Together we will be ,even if we are far apart,

As long as the sun rises each day ,

I’ll always love and adore you anyway ,

But until then as long as theirs hope in our hearts,

Your in my heart forever and apart. 

❤️Seasons change

As the wind blows,

Heaven knows,

It will be you and me,

As long as we’re meant to be,

In sun and in rain,

We are connected in chain,

In heat and snow,

I love you more than you know,

And when the day is grey,

You brighten up my day,

In your own special way,

The sky will no longer be grey,

The seasons won’t change us,

In life all we have is trust,

Till we meet again in soul,

I’ll always feel whole. 

❤️High force 

When I’m alone in bed,

So sad and I can’t rest my head,

I feel a force holding me tight,

Soothing me through the night ,

And when the day seems long,

and I can’t seem to feel so strong,

A force tells me to never give up and smile,

And comforting me while,

I can’t find the words or the motivation,

Your my temptation,

My inspiration to get going,

The willingness to keep knowing,

At night your my guide,

My flow of life, my tide,

I’m going on feeling you,

Through the wind and the sky too.
