Luke to Hermes: Not Good Enough

You try to talk to me,

but you know what?

It's too late.

I was just another child

birthed by another one of your flings.

Did you know I called for you,

when my mother went crazy,

trying to "protect" me?

You probably knew,

but you didn't care.

I wasn't good enough

to be the son of the

god of thieves.

You stole my heart,

you know that?

You were my father;

Of course I loved you.

Loved. Past tense.

But you think there's a part of

the old me, deep down,

behind my hatred for the gods.

Now that I'm going to be your

downfall,

I'm suddenly good enough for you.

But now you're not good enough

for me.
