"Destroy"

To gain someone's trust

And have them believe in your words
Is easy to do with some
Even those who don't believe everything heard

An act of human relations

Is as simple as this
Yet, some hold money higher
And the fear of loss they can't resist

To betray an honesty

Is the most silent way to kill
And leave a shell of a person behind
Who has always seen good will

An act that leaves scars unseen

On a heart that has always believed
That lying is not an option
And that truth is forever perceived

The betrayal of this bond

Is very condemning and harsh
The cruelest of acts
Destroying a trusting heart
