Is/Not/Is

I only give what I promise
which isn't very much
natural light and a
designated life

I only see what I want to
which isn't very much
facts of life and a
hesitant smile

some things make an impression
some are left to the side
memories
with the best intention

I only ask what I ought to
which isn't very much
thoughts of why
escape my kind

a gesture that seemed so fleeting
but later held such meaning
holds my soul
in times of strife
