It's not a thing you can see
but a thing you can point to
in fact it doesn't exist at all
A word that rhymes with
and is well worth gleaning
why do I have to spell it out?

You were so excited you couldn't wait
I didn't realize it had gotten so late
The fragile thing has come to pieces in her hands
Could not withstand the sight of day

Your sun colors my world just like yesterday
except for some aspect of chiaroscuro gone awry
It seems some trifling thing outcast 
     made it past in the night
and there it lies crushed on the floor 
     to the horror of all

It couldn't have gone any further than this
in fact you can't get there from here
The trifling thing has come to pieces in your hands
could not withstand the lght of day

IT comes in drops, IT comes in capsules
the drops taste like death but work faster
I've seen the drops work wonders within hours
they work without chemical side-effects

You- could've done so much better than this
but I suspect that's all I get
The whole damn mess has come to pieces in my hands
It couldn't stand the sight of day.
