    EMPTY POCKETS

     Pockets
    that were filled
    with empty promises
    consisting of words like
    I will.
    Forever.
    I do.
    Eternally.
    With all my heart.

    Pockets
    that bulged
    with promises
    of love and devotion.
    Loyalty.
    Trust.
    Dedication and commitment.

    Pockets
    so full of holes
    all the promises
    fell out.
