The Girl in the Shadows

People come, and people go.
The ones who stay have no words of their own.
One woman hears your problems, but did you ever think she had any too?
She is there when you ask, and doesn’t even blink an eye.
Everything that happened with that guy?
She's heard it all, been there and done that.
You lose someone dear?
She's all ears.
But when she's dealing with something, she think she's nothing.
She'll smile and laugh on the outside, but she's crying and yelling on the inside.
Being there for people is what she does best.
Even though she doesn’t get much rest.
You're in the light, and she's just sitting in the dark.
She doesn’t care, though, she'll be there until the end.
Forever, and always, your friend.
The girl in the shadows.
