No Better Words

Why do I run from you
When you are enough for me
There are no better words
Than those within thee

Why do I turn my back
When following you can save me
There are no better words
Than those within thee

Why don't I cry
When you are recited to me
There are no better words
Than those within thee

My beloved cried once
When they made hijrah from thee
Because there are no better words
Than those within thee

I'm coming back
From this journey away from thee
There are no better words
Than those within thee

To absorb all of you
Within this heart of mine
There are no better words
Than those within thee

I loosen these chains
And choose to be free
I embrace your words
Those that guide me

There are no better words
Than those within thee

A poem, in the sense, but plainly itfs an inward inquisitiveness, that sometimes compels us to check our own actions and thoughts, and advocates for refinement.
