Some songs trigger memories and others arouse emotion. With or without you by U2 is one such song that makes my body numb. One day I will not listen to the lyrics word-by-word or think back to that crematorium that urge to run from my seat, drag back that curtain and erase that wooden coffin.

Sometimes in the dark your mind can wonder and as the night closes in the terrors appear. The terrors seep out from your subconscious and suffocate you in a transition from adult to child.
A simple cry is masculine and an uncontrollable emotion vociferates from within.
Selfishness dominates. Why did you leave me? Why didn’t you tell me? Me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Whatever happened to you?
You were the one who brought us all together and like Pritt stick you stuck it out. You made us weep and you made us smile, and written in a blog you improved my mood for a while.
So no more tears and no more mess, apologies you never saw me out of my ...
See right now you’ve got me smiling and on a quick change of subject my nails need filing.
So without much ado I bid you goodnight, please don’t watch while I sleep it will give you a fright.
I would say “We’ll be seeing you” but we know that’s not true, we’ll all get through this together and it’s all because of you.

It almost seems wrong to turn such strong emotion into literature, even if writers have been doing it for centuries.
It is tipping it down with rain as I write this, how’s that for pathetic fallacy!
