Passionate Hug

After the day is over
Withdraw the night to come 
Of overwhelming tiredness
Covered up, wrapped my bones
I return to her 
After every event 
I return to her 
After every tear
I return to her
After every cheer
I return to her
After every discussion 
I return to her 
After every argument 
I hug her so intensely
Never want to let go 
I hug her with every pleasure
Of my thoughts
With every agony she had suppressed
With every tear she has shed
With every day that has passed
With every hour that clarified
Her devotion 
Her will 
To never let go 
I hugged her with every will 
That lasted because of her
I hugged her
My mother
So frightened of the thought
That one day I may wake up 
And never find a reply
