The Halo Effect

A halo was formed within the mind's eye
A halo was placed a top your head
A halo was taken off from a top your head
once was smitten by your charms 
once was smitten by your very being
once was smitten by your very presence 
till one day the halo that i had so 
unwittingly placed upon your head 
fell apart shattered into tinny little pieces 
and fell to the ground knocking you from 
a top your pedestal that i had unknowingly placed 
you upon

Uh oh. Sounds like someone 'fell from grace?" I got from this poem perhaps someone hadn't lived up to expectations and in the end everything toppled?? I enjoyed this!
