Have You Ever Asked God Poem by Lauren Beasley

Have you ever asked God
To remove someone from your mind?
Their memory is too painful
To venture back and glance behind

You recall the times you had,
Sweet moments shared with them
But knowing they are gone
Tarnishes the beauty of that gem

To think of them and be sad
Would prove a greater crime
Than to never think of them again
For regret is a waste of time

Therefore, you would rather not
Have their face pop in your head
So if their memory just brings pain,
You ask God to remove the thought of them instead
