That was a very good villanelle, and it followed the rules very closely. My only comment/criticism is that most villanelles are supposed to incorporate a shift in meaning or tone from the beginning to the end. The shift usually begins in the fourth stanza. I wasn't really able to detect the abovementioned shift, but it really isn't that big of a deal at all.
