Betrayal Begins With Trust

  " ...betrayal begins with trust." Quote by  Phish  

Being betrayed it destroys all trust,
Always staying humble is a must. 
No thought the deed is to be repaid. 
It destroys all trust being betrayed. 

When you are hurting, your wounds are deep.
When betrayal makes your climb so steep.
Your faithful friends are now deserting.
Your wounds are deep, when you are hurting. 

Faith’s an emotion, precious to give.
Trust in a friend, the right way to live.
Expect loyalty with devotion.
Precious to give, faith’s an emotion.

If you’re betrayed, stay strong, walk away.
Don’t retaliate, no need to stay.
Hard to forgive, God’s word you’ve obeyed.
Stay strong, walk away, if you’re betrayed.
