A schoolboy heart

I love you. Screamed the schoolboy

I’m in love with you. He added too

And because he knew the heart’s not a toy

He also added. I wanna be with you

But the devil met him one afternoon

Delicious schoolboy jugular for the kill

He asked the boy to choose. And choose soon

What will it be. His heart or his will?

For I’m gonna break one of the two

And I promise you it’ll be broken to dust

But because you’re fucked up. And I like you

I’m letting you choose which remains in your bust

But I love her. Said the schoolboy

I’m in love with her. He added too

But he also knew what gave the devil joy

So instead of pleading, he hissed: fuck you

You’ll be breaking neither. I promise you back

But something has to break. Isn’t that your deal?

So I’ll show you what I’ll do. You banished quack

And I’ll make sure what I do stays with you as my seal

And so the schoolboy took his heart. He looked the devil in the eye

He smiled a dead man’s smile once. For he was no more a schoolboy

And broke his own heart with his words. A million sharp shards he let fly

A million razor blades that had beaten whole once. But now just a deadly toy

I promised you. YOU will be breaking nothing

Not my heart. And not my will

I’m not your slave. You empty king

My will’s intact. And my heart was mine to kill

Till this day, there’s a man with his mad dance

A man for whom love wasn’t a token

A man who was a schoolboy in love once

A man who chose to break his own heart than be broken
