Poetry exchange?

i really like the rythym of it, it flows very nicely!

Here's mine:

I love you
But I don't
Like you

"How can that make sense?"
You ask
Well it goes like this:
To love is to care
To like is to enjoy

I care for your well being
But I don't enjoy your company

Everybody loves him. He's just a little dog,
His pelt as white as snow,
And his spots as grey as fog.

He has a little secret,
He keeps it hidden well.
He eats children in the night,
This secret he'll never tell.

His little girl she loves him,
It is clear as one can see.
But one dear morning she saw it,
The arm hanging in a tree.

The little dog, he watched her,
As she investigated her find,
He knew he had to do it
Even though to him she was so kind.

That night he lurked the hallways
He serched for her in the night
He was waiting for the moment
The time that would be just right.

He stepped into her bedroom
Alas it was the time,
He stood over her head
And prepared to preform his crime.

In the morning it was all over,
Not a trace of the child left.
Her bed was found to be empty,
The parents wept fearing her death

The dog he sat in silence
This solitude was to much
He looked down at his paws
His girls life was in his clutch.

He couldn't bear life without her
He looked out at the road
A black car drove past
His soul had been sold.


(Oh my gosh, I didn't mean for this to get so dark)

i love the rhyming pattern with how it does so every other line, i always have trouble doing that myself

heres mine, its also dark but in a different way lol:

All my hopes and dreams
Are slipping from underneath my feet
It’s as simple as can be
I’ve lost reality
When I went in pursuit
Of fantasies
They’re damaging
To my health
Because in the end
They don’t satisfy
The needs I have
To feel like
I’m wanted
Because I’m not
And so it seems
Nothing is left for me
Yet here I still breathe
And for some bedamn
Idiotic reason
I stay here
Maybe it’s because
Of you and the way
You smile at me
Sometimes it seems
That I might never
Be able to leave
When it comes to
The way you affect me
You’ve got me in your grasp
And it’d be so easy
For you to make me snap
To force me to crumble and break
To take what’s left of me
And shatter it farther
If I weren’t of flesh
I’d be of sand
Small and insignificant
Blown and pushed around
Every which way
Only strong
When my numbers grow
But on my own
I’m nothing noticeable
Just trivial
And so I go about
Chasing after
Broken hopes and shattered dreams
Wishing they will
Make me feel free
Of this damn
Forsaken reality

I remember you.
But still, I don’t know who you are,
As these bricks all fall to shambles
And the footways fall apart.

You’re like a portrait
Hung upon the wall.
And you too were turned to rubble
As the time consumed us all.

But still I see you.
Though you rest far from my mind.
My memories grant you keys
To doorways in my life.

But like the tempest…
Like the storm that ever grows,
It’s not as though you can remain;
You must simply come and go.

Yes, I remember you,
But I’m beginning to wish I didn’t.
For the past is buried in the past,
And I cannot go on with it.
