Marvelous Quote by Oscar Wilde


In answer to Oscar Wilde's quote
"never love anyone who treats you like you are ordinary"

I cannot help but love him she said
But he puts you down, we pointed out
He sequesters you from your family and friends
He isolates you from your loves and your joys

She could not be persuaded, she had to find it out for herself
When she finally made the break, her happiness came back in droves
She was enthusiastic personified again, and full of good advice
You cannot tell us who to love, just remind us to love ourselves.
