    About this ebook

    Dear Love,
    I hope these words find you.
    These are the words I never said.
    These are the words that needed to be heard.
    Please keep in mind that
    This is my heart in your hands—
    Be gentle.

    Dear Love: A Collection of Poetry
    Author

    Marisa De Maio

    I have always believed that our words and actions hold the power to impact those around us, so we must live life fully and purely. Notorious for feeling everything incredibly too deeply and making others’ pain my own, I pull my inspiration from personal experiences as well as the unfamiliarity I have found in others. I fell in love with writing for the way that it healed me.

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      What Are You Really Crying About?

      Jun 14, 2020
