Hello readers, welcome to OCpoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community -- a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).

If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry", or "loved it" or "so relateable", please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.

If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that. If you're not sure what that means, check out our [feedback guide](https://new.reddit.com/r/ocpoetry/wiki/feedbackcritiques), or look 

Thank you :) glad it portrayed that to you. I liked the image of fat because it felt repulsive but also there’s a temptation to indulge. Thanks for reading

I like the metaphor of describing this person as no more than a piece of fat. I think that really portrays the  unappealingness of a person after you see some of the true parts of them. Really good and concise poem. (:

I cut you off  
like a piece of fat  
made a clean slice  
flicked you in the trash

I saw you as something  
I'd rather not eat  
You laid on so thick  
empty words lacking meat

But even a surgeon  
couldn't be so precise  
not to leave traces of your substance,  
taking with you part of mine.
