The Perceived Necessity For Three Precise Approximations

                                                                                 
                                                                                  1) For a Poet Once Envied

                                                                                      how much of your soul
                                                                                                  exactly
                                                                                       did you leave for your
                                                                                                 muse to
                                                                                      feast upon and devour ..

                                                                                                     ...
                                                                                 
                                                                                 2) For a Lover Once Loved

                                                                                      How much of yourself
                                                                                                 exactly
                                                                                did you choose to hold back
                                                                                             while I tried
                                                                                    to drown myself in you ..

                                                                                               ...
                                                                           
                                                                             3) For a Cause Once Fought

                                                                                How much time do we have
                                                                                                exactly
                                                                                 for the two of us to devote
                                                                                             to a cause
                                                                               we know, to be already lost ..

What an intriguing mystery! I think the answer lies in safety, maybe. But that's just a guess. Hope you find your answer x

Nev, to put it simply- very deep and deeply wonderful.
Marilyn Monroe when stuck for an answer to a unanswerable question, would reply back with a question, turn things around.
So I'm with Marilyn on that front.
Nicely written with your thought inducing ink:)
