I think maybe it means that by keeping silent about a secret, there is no way you can be betrayed by it being told to other people. For instance, if you told a friend a secret and they turned around and told a bunch of other people, they would have betrayed your trust. Silence therefore is a true friend because it can't betray your trust.

Betrays Meaning

It means that silence is quiet, it doesn't say anything. When you 'betray' someone you backstab them/ tell their secrets. Silence is a true friend because it will never talk bad about you or spill your secrets.

Hellow silence can't speak, so it could never betray you.
