If Said Or Told

if I said or told

things I should of not 

please for give me

I am just flesh and bone.

your anger with me

lets me see I was wrong.

if I said or told

things I should of not,

it was a slip of the tongue 

I not the only one.

who let a secret slip out.

I know, I know that called gossip.

God for give me

teach me to respect others

I feel a shame,

but don't let this mark me

as gossip now being 

my name.

if I said or told

things I should of not

don't throw rocks at glass houses,

I am sure you gossiped 

where you admit it or what.

I love you and meant no harm.

but bringing this to my attention 

it did bring up in my 

life a alarm.
