A poem about loving someone so deeply that it becomes a form of controlled self-destruction—a love that felt revolutionary, catastrophic, and impossible to abandon.
The Molotov cocktail is simply a metaphor for loving someone who is both intensely powerful and dangerously destabilizing.
Has this happened to you?
Title.
Self-Destruction.
(A lone voice whispers
Loving you was like clutching a Molotov cocktail whilst walking in a raging thunderstorm trying to keep it lit.
As life slowly ticked up to 8 and beyond on the spiritual Richter scale.
