Warning

They say there's a calm before the storm, 

a quiet that washes over everything 

It's eerie, yet so peaceful 
It's a warning, for the catastrophe to come 
However, there was no warning, no peace nor quiet 

Just a hurricane that wiped me clear of all my senses
There was no sign, no eerie sensation to send chills through my body, 
to signal the natural disaster that was about to reek havoc on my heart
Like a twister, you ripped my mind into fragments of what it used to be

before you 

I was left broken

Then you took those pieces and lit them aflame

Whatever beauty left in me, torched 

Like a forest fire that kept growing until I was engulfed, consumed

They say storms come with warnings, there's a calm and a quiet 
I, however, don't believe them

No warning came with you

You captured the feelings of someone breaking a person's heart. I love how you compared "a hurricane that wiped me clear of all my senses" to the moment a person realizes their boyfriend or girlfriend is breaking up with them.
