Old Flame - edit 1 (Formerly Faint Hope)

[Wjames]

A sliver remains,
the final slice of pie
at the back of your fridge
beside a jar of pickles
you got the week you moved in.

The crust may be soggy and the taste dulled,
but it's nice to know something's there
if you feel like something sweet.

Original Version. Originally titled "Faint Hope":

A sliver remains,

you got the week you moved in. 

The crust's soggy and the taste dulled,
but it's nice to know something's there
if you feel like something sweet.
