Replying to a comment on:

Elmer's Last Try (Free verse) by Dovina

"I want you to love me," he whispered. She looked at him, and it seemed he was the child they never had. "And I did love you," she said, straightning his covers. Then she went out the door, closing it softly behind her. And that was the end of the conversation.

Not as much as a proud child's derision. But it's not about parent-child, but rather husband-wife.
