You have killed my love. You used to stir my imagination. Now you don't even stir my curiosity. You simply produce no effect. I loved you because you were marvelous, because you had genius and intellect, because you realized the dreams of great poets and gave shape and substance to the shadows of art. You have thrown it all away. You are shallow and stupid Oscar Wilde

You simply produce no effect. I loved you because you were marvelous, because you had genius and intellect, because you realized the dreams of great poets and gave shape and substance to the shadows of art. You have thrown it all away.

You are shallow and stupid." Often in a relationship there is a sense of hopelessness; once your partner has left your life, there is no hope for it to return again. However, our lives are not completely over when we lose a spouse or a lover; we can still find new relationships and new loves. It takes time but eventually, our lives will get back to normal and we can live happily once more.
