Marlene froze up briefly when Marlene asked her that. She thought about it. How the hell did she tell this girl that she'd known (at times intimately) since they were kids that she'd been in love with her for almost as long?
She opened her mouth to speak... but as her emotions overcame her a little, she instead began to sing as she turned away.
"How can you see into my eyes like open doors? Leading you down, into my core Where I've become so numb, without a soul My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold Until you find it there, and lead it, back, home"
She turned back then, eyes starting into Emme's, as though she were looking directly into her very soul. "Wake me up inside Wake me up inside Call my name and save me from the dark Bid my blood to run Before I come undone Save me from the nothing I've become" She inched closer to the other girl again, taking Emme's hands in her own, as tears began to well in her eyes and her singing took on a more desperate, needy tone. "Wake me up inside Wake me up inside Call my name and save me from the dark Bid my blood to run Before I come undone Save me from the nothing I've become Bring me to life Bring me to life Frozen inside, without your touch Without your love, darling Only you are my life Among the dead I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems Got to open my eyes to everything Don't let me die here Bring, me, to, life Wake me up inside Wake me up inside Call my name and save me from the dark Bid my blood to run Before I come undone Save me from the nothing I've become Bring me to life Bring me to life Bring me to life"
As she finished, the music faded away, leaving Marlene wide eyed and clearly more than a little embarrassed.
