One Girl Dithered

​This is a poem I wrote in 2013. I imagine all of my poetry set to music, but I am rarely able to come up with my own tunes. This one I imagine to the tune of I’m On Fire by Bruce Springsteen.

​Come on little girl
Just take my hand
I'll make you a woman
And I'll be your man
The honor's mine
Oh, I'm on the line

I'll show you things
In a brand-new light
I'll take you places
Make you high as a kite
The honor's mine
Oh, I'm on the line

I know you think
You're second best
But I know different
From the beating in my chest
Come on girl
Don't take your time
Oh, I'm on the line

Sometimes I feel
I'm stretched too thin
As the days run on
And on without end
I'm stretched so fine
Oh, I'm on the line

The honor's mine
Oh, I'm on the line
