the comfort of your words

you're always there for them,
when they need someone to talk to,
you always ask them if they're okay,
because you make sure they feel loved and understood,
but when it's you who's going through
ache after ache after ache,
who's there beside you?
who's asking if you're okay?
you're so good at comforting people,
but who's comforting you?
the words you tell other people,
are the same words you wished to hear,
you're always there for other people,
but all the signs are loud and clear.
