Sonny would come home every night to his penthouse. He hurriedly to the upstairs bedroom. The silence was so still as he shut the door behind him.
This was his routine. As he sits in his chair, he talks to her. He does that every night, as if she was in the same room, leaning against the wall with her hands across her chest with her reading glasses pushed slightly down on her nose staring straight into his eyes.

With a tissue in her hand, she began to cry
She lived a life of loneliness
Only living through me
Her feelings were bottled up inside
Her heart was never free
