It will be, without a figment of doubt,
an utter disgrace
If what you mean to me, in words,
I try to trace
And yet words; for these are words indeed,
have been put down
Help me; for I know not what to say, or how,
help me invent a noun

While you wait for "suitable" help to arrive, here is something the dictionary threw up (not as in regurgitated, but as in offered)

Main Entry: complement
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: companion
Synonyms: accompaniment, addition, aggregate, augmentation, balance, capacity, completion, correlate, correlative, counterpart, enhancement, enrichment, entirety, filler, finishing touch, pendant, quota, remainder, rest, rounding-off, supplement, total, totality, wholeness

nice poem that undercuts its own writing!

Well written. I liked the use of the word noun to write a poem around.
