Brutal Buds

How dare they?

How dare they do this to us?

How dare they toy with our emotions?

Stomp on our psyche.

Fool with our hearts.

How dare they?

Win games.

Win, now.

When winning hurts more than losing.

When victories set you back.

And defeats move you forward.

Ah, well.

Life as a Leafs fan.

Or slave.

Or masochist.

Ah, well.

Until the next suffering.

I shall hold out hope.
