Alone
Destiny Copeland May 2013
We sit in a row of four
I'm on the edge
On the outskirts
Why don't they talk to me
Until they need something
I thought we were all friends
Maybe I'm just the worthless one...

Stuck
Destiny Copeland May 2013
Since the moment we met
I began to dig
The grave for our love

And it got deeper
With each day
I witheld the truth

Only because I know
That you'd prefer
Someone better

Here We Are
Destiny Copeland May 2014
Just hours ago I was thinking about how long it's been since I've written
And it's because only write on 3 occasions
When I'm sad
When I'm mad
And when I'm in love
Here I am praising my feelings for staying in control, leaving as quickly as they came
Here I go thinking you're just another boy passing by
Yet here I am
Just a little past 2am writing again
Here you go inspiring yet another piece of mine
While I hope the topic stays on love longer than before
Although I know it won't

Why I Write
Destiny Copeland Sep 2013
I write during stages of sadness and love
But during our time together
My pages have been blank ...
I'm just used to you, that's all. And that's why I go back.
p.s. I'm learning how to write when I'm happy or content
p.p.s I'm really happy I made this realization

The Weight of a Human
Destiny Copeland Jul 2013
It’s not being labeled fat or thin

Or the number on the scale

It’s the looks we get when we step out the door

That keeps us down

Or lifts us high

We’re only measured by our looks

You've Always Loved Red
Destiny Copeland Jul 2013
I like to watch myself bleed

Even if
It's just a tiny bead

It gives me hope 

That i’ll spill all over the floor

Leaving this slab of flesh and meat

For you to find

Just beyond my door

Missing An Aries
Destiny Copeland Apr 2020
Being with you is like
Touching a hot stove
I like to feel the burn
Even though it hurts
I fell in love with an Aries.

Sign Searching
Destiny Copeland Dec 2015
Here I am
Music loud
Glasses on
Mind racing
Racing to find the sign

I found and followed when we began
Ignored when we came to an end
And now
I'm looking to see if we should be a we
Or stay you and me

I found my sign when I opened this page
And turned up my tunes
Caroline Smith sang
"You got to move on"
"You go to let him go"

I won't ignore them again
Be destroyed by them again
My sign searching has come to an end

Look Deeper
Destiny Copeland May 2013
The surface of the water
Is first to be seen
But the real beauty lies
Beneath the sea

Burn
Destiny Copeland May 2013
My love for you has endured
All these years apart
With every moment
Of my lonely existence

How did this spark
Grow a flame
That burns on nothing
But my hope for us

I spend my time thinking
Maybe
someday
Your fire will meet mine

And it will spread
Bright enough
For the world to see

What I Want
Destiny Copeland Jun 2013
“What do you want to be?”

A questioned asked

When we’re too young 

To fathom the importance 

What happens when what I want

Isn’t what I become?

What happens if

I’m not sure?

What really happens 

**If I fail?

The moment I think

Someone is there to listen
I am forgotten

Falling
Destiny Copeland Dec 2015
I'm okay
I'm okay now
but I might fall again

back to my old ways
not talking to anyone but my lonely thoughts
becoming too familiar with the tears on my pillow
recalling all my failed loves

But for now
I'm okay
but just know I might fall again
and fall soon
Destiny Copeland Apr 2020
I wanted a closeness you couldn't give
And blamed myself for what I didn't receive
Here's a good lesson on needs
They must be met for a relationship to move
Is that why we got stuck? Mixed up? And in the wrong direction

I felt the distance growing
Forced a whisper of "goodbye"
And left the door cracked wondering if
We could give it our all and try

I was not prepared to let you go
I thought it would be easy but baby
I don't know
If I was smart
Or a fool for not listening to my heart

If We
Destiny Copeland Aug 2020
If we could talk telepathically
And I know we can
I'd want you to know that I care for you
Even though you're not my man

If we could talk through time
And I know it's true
I'd let you know I love
All the years and versions of you

If we could talk in our dreams
Which we have before
I'd let you know this is lovely
And it makes me cherish our reality more

If you could read my words
Or feel it in your heart
I'd let you know there's still space for you
Even though we are apart
Destiny Copeland Dec 2015
I couldn't be in a more complicated situation
Me expecting to date this guy when I ****** his ex best friend
You expecting me to date your current best friend
Me being beaten and broken
You fixing my pieces
Me continuing to fall for you
You falling for my friends
When it comes to me and you it's more than complicated
I'll deal with the complications even if we only spend mere seconds of belonging to each other

— The End —
