Memories of a Demigod

I will remember you as you used to be  
Strong, independent and  
Ready to take life by the throat  
No stop button on your body  
Willing to try anything once  
The enthusiasm you had was infectious  
Everyone wanted to be around you  
Everyone wanted to be you  
You were the life of the party  
Unpredictable and fearless  
Without a cruel bone in your body  
Trusting to a fault and  
That’s how your downfall came to be  
From the person you placed upon  
A golden alter for all of us to see and  
Hope to one day aspire to obtain but  
This was no angel you prayed to  
The horns were hidden from your sight  
Alas but not to ours and she  
Knew where your achilles heel lied  
Though we tried to bring reason to light  
Blind adoration conquered all  
Except for the deceivers heart  
Down you came  
Before our eyes you melted  
Into the mortal, broken form  
We see today struggling to hold  
Together the crumbling world around you  
Pride condemned you to resist  
The outstretched hands of your comrades  
Seeking to place you back  
On the lighted hill top  
From where you came  
Seems as though demigods die  
A most horrendous public death but  
I will remember you as you were  
During the glory days of herculean feats  
Before the alter was torn asunder
