Marlene! Oh Marlene! I don't know what to do. I promised you I wouldn't cry. But oh-I'm missing you! I struggled through your funeral. Now I'm sitting here alone. Amidst the empty silence that used to be our home. I feel so lost, my gorgeous. I can't except you`re gone. I still hear your gentle laughter, and your perfume lingers on. I`ve been left with such heartache. The pain won`t go away. How can I face tomorrow, when I can't get through today? Of all the things you taught me. How to smile and shed a tear. You forgot one vital lesson. How to live now you're not here! I feel so strange, my gorgeous. I must close my eyes and sleep. The room is filled with a silvery light, and I no longer want to weep. Someone else is drawing near. Their hand is in my hand. My little Gorgeous Marlene! I know that wedding band! Marlene, is that really you standing by my side? You look so warm and beautiful and fill me full of pride. Yes, it's me, my Snittlegrub! I could not leave you here alone. You are just too lost without me. So I've come to take you home.
