The Past Tense of Had

Dated 10-May-2009

What is the past tense of had?
What lies beyond the longing and the desire
For the things that have been lost
And taken away and discarded
But not forgotten.

What is the past tense of had?
Regret, loneliness and fear
A spot in your soul left void
Anxiety over never again
Possessing what was once had,
Even with the full knowledge
It was empty grasping
From the beginning

What is the past tense of had?
Healing and recovery
The past tense of had is truth.
