Before The Dawn Read online

  Never doubt

  Wait here till it’s light

  Keep away from dark fright

  Said the man with the magic guitar

  Don’t leave

  Never leave

  Whisper until it hurts too much

  Surrender to the melody’s clutch

  Said the man with the magic guitar

  Don’t grieve

  Never grieve

  Just breathe the words red

  And scream the magic bled

  Said the man with the magic guitar

  Before glow

  Let it rain until it pours

  And he will dry her

  Tenderly, softly

  Until he is forgiven

  It is dark and cold outside

  And empty

  So empty

  So make him not alone

  Regret stains the sheets

  And taints the night

  And she can erase all trace

  It’s about forgiveness

  Leave the thunder outside the door

  He will draw the shade on it

  Turn out the lights

  And make love with the shadows

  A lustful calm in chaos blind

  She must tell him what to do

  Whisper until it hurts

  Then she’ll forgive him

  Somewhere before dawn

  If morning never came

  Would it still be too late?

  Light fills a room

  Curtains drift in a breeze

  Sun falls to the floor

  The world behind a window

  A bullet bursts it to diamonds

  But if darkness remains

  And everything is still

  The night can last longer

  Lit by the already dead

  Who might creep through my window

  Dawn breaks too late

  Night is at last chased away

  Glimmering blades sink

  A precious golden carpet waits

  For a shadow to steal it back

  About the author

  Wendy Maddocks lives in Birmingham, England, with her slightly crazy family. She blames them for her twisted imagination. Sanity is not her friend. She enjoys reading and studying, working out and eating cake, which makes her fat and in need of yet another gym session. (Yes, I’m a masochist!) She also has a fear thing about sheep. After graduating from university, Wendy began publishing her own work online and is always working on new writing projects. What will happen when she runs out of ideas?

  No, let’s not wonder that.
