Soiled Secrets Poem by Timothy Weiermann

Dirty, soiled secrets
Years of half-told truths
Memories of happiness
Spread throughout our youth

Selfish, unjust acts
Quenching lustful sin
Can you hear my prayers?
Can you hear through the din?

Pledging faithful love
Sharing warmth and arms
Joyous moments we’ve sung
Protecting each others from harms

Who would have known?
The greatest harm was here
He holds dirty, soiled secrets
Of selfish unjust acts
Who would have known?
The greatest danger,
Was in your arms

He claims to love you truly
Claims to live for you
Yet he lusts in ways unruly
You see what he will do

Can he hear your prayers?
Can he hear through the din?
It’s up to him to know
That the harm’s come from his sin

Who would have known?
The greatest harm was here
He holds dirty, soiled secrets
Of selfish unjust acts
Who would have known?
The greatest danger,
Was in your arms,

Who would have known?
The greatest danger,
Has left your arms
