A Poetry Collection by Melina Maria Morry
Too Busy 4 Heartbreak
Too Busy 4 Heartbreak is a collection of poems, thoughts, and short stories about love, desire, broken dreams, heartache, and being a busy woman in a life that isn’t totally hers.
We’re too busy 4 heartbreak
No time for tears
When the world that surrounds us
Embodies our fears
Let’s bare our souls
And mend through this prose
Letters to cherish
As we heal in the throes . . .
of:
Love
Infatuation
Infidelity
Raising children
Death
Nonfinite grief
& more
Why read Too Busy 4 Heartbreak?
Reading emotional poetry creates a profound connection between the reader and the raw, unfiltered expressions of human experience. And trust me, I’m really trying to let you into mine. Which, as I said to one friend was embarrassing and she corrected me: it’s vulnerable. Each word in the 49 poems, thoughts, and stories acts as a bridge to feelings often difficult to articulate, allowing for moments of—here’s that word again—vulnerability and reflection. The cadence and rhythm invite readers to slow down, absorb the nuances, and engage with the depths of joy, sorrow, love, or loss. This intimate encounter encourages empathy, often revealing shared truths that resonate long after the poem is finished.

Wondering why you should buy books from indie authors? Even if it is through Amazon? Buying books from indie authors supports creativity and diversity in literature, allowing readers to discover unique voices and stories often overlooked by mainstream publishers. Indie authors usually have a close connection with their audience, offering fresh perspectives and personalized experiences. (One reason I like publishing independently is that I get complete control over the entire process.) Purchasing their work not only encourages their craft but helps sustain a vibrant literary community independent of large publishing houses. This choice often leads to more innovative and passionate storytelling, enriching the reading landscape for everyone.
I hope you love Too Busy 4 Heartbreak.
