Average Everyday Friend

Involuntarily,
my eyelids close and I'm forced to face the truth.
I'll always exist in the background.
Just a scribe in this game of life.
Win, lose, or draw; I'll still be here,
catching your words with my pen.

I'm just your Average Everyday Friend.
Waiting to be needed,
used, shredded, and discarded
So I can recycle myself and start again.

You say you've been so lonely.
Have you looked in my eyes lately?

I'm sure some guys would be interested to see they aren't the only ones who fill this slot. Very clear, maybe the more clever.
