Erosion of Trust
"Betrayal begins with trust" - Quote by Phish
Here's the story of a married couple...
They had the world on a string,
The blueprint to erect
A lasting foundation of togetherness.
They forged a covenant...
To comfortably repose forever
On the bed of dreams
The love they shared was
As solid as granite, as was
Their unwavering faith in one another.
Their relationship flourished.
It was firmly rooted to the ground
Like an Egyptian pyramid.
A sinewy bond that could never be
Severed, or so it seemed.
At the first sign of trouble,
A third party waiting in the wings
Wiggles herself through a crack
Between the two lovers;
Two becomes a crowd,
Betrayal gradually erodes trust.
A once steadfast union
Crumbles like Jenga blocks.
Their love withers on the vine;
Infidelity, the coup de grace.
