emotional clear cutting

how do you erase someone from your emotions? can you?
physically you leave them behind, you push them out of your thoughts like cumbersome foliage in a thick jungle path.
you machete your way through the trailing vines and the grasping undergrowth.
but can you truly ever get away from them, clear cut them from your emotional existence?

or are they like a bad penny, destined to forever show up, again and again when least expected, sprouting to life in your psyche and pulling you down.

maybe old relationships are like a term spent in purgatory, randomly plunging a knife into your heart when least expect.
when does it end?
why, when you think it's gone, does it return stronger than before.
how much life needs to be wasted in the letting go process?
