It's been six months since it came
The days are slower than they've ever been
Do you know how sick I've been feelin'
All my life's efforts in vain
Oh how I long
For a sunny day
And how I belong
Somewhere nice, real far away
A perfect getaway
I'm writing a book about me
and I've placed it on my desk
I'll finish it shortly
just as soon as I get some rest
I hope you know I wrote several pages
describing the agony that I feel
After you left I realized that nothing changes
and the more time I sit here
the less time it takes for me to heal
Oh how I long
for a sunny day
And how I belong
Somewhere nice, real far away
A perfect getaway
The perfect getaway
Screaming voices flourish through the acoustics of these rooms
Alone, left out on my own
Left in a pitiful gloom
A hatred for you I've grown
The further I think of you
The sicker I become
The further I blame you too
The more things I shun
I long
For a sunny day
I belong
Somewhere nice, real far away
A perfect getaway
The perfect getaway
Oh how I long
To be strong
To belong
Somewhere nice, real far away
A perfect
A perfect getaway
The perfect
The perfect getaway
From you

The \"it\" is referring to the break up, thanks for the reply.
Ok, first I think something went wrong with your formatting. Unless you meant for
to be like that? It looks odd and it distracted me from the rest of the poem. I like the rest of the song though. It's nice and simple. I do wonder what "it" was though. I get the feeling the song is about a breakup, but the "it came" in the first line makes me think that it is something more. What melody did you set this to? I keep hearing the melody for a "Pocket Full of Sunshine" when I read the chorus. I liked it! Keep writing!
