Consigned to Oblivion
If you could be made to forget, would you?
Memories erased,
Spots removed from your mind.
The familiar feeling from a memory
Which is now but an echo,
Consigned to oblivion.
Would this bring joy?
Perhaps temporary relief
From the everyday reminder
Of the sorrows you carry.
Who are you without the hurts,
failures,
disappointments,
heartaches?
From your mind, you can erase them,
The heart is a different story.
Don’t waste another day,
Love the sky falling.

I think it's a potent literary device to open with a question. Engages your reader, gets neurons firing. Enjoyed this and no, lessons forgotten are repeated. Better to reconcile one's self to what has transpired and move on, I think.

If given an option or choice then no I wouldn't want a bitty bit of me erased or hazed over. Definitely a thought provoked. Much Love and Respect,

Provocative to say the least ... Lovely write ... Though at moment still the instinct is to erase ... I cannot ... To quote fantasy hero of mine "I need my pain". It's part of what makes me ... me ... Bless and love ...
