Villanelle.

I like trying out different poetic formats, just to push myself. This was my first time writing a villanelle, and I kinda like itt, but I don't like how it ends. It follows a rhyming format, and you have to repeat lines 1 and 3 from the first stanza in certain places.
______________
You always think about you.
Never gave a consistent thought to me.
Even when it was overdue.

You're imprinted on me like a tattoo.
You ignore my desperate plea.
You always think about you.

I wish to bid you an adieu.
I wish to clear the debris.
Even when it was overdue.

My feelings for you grew.
You knew, and smiled with glee.
You always think about you.

Anything bad I heard, I thought untrue.
I should've saw that you were a banshee.
Even when it was overdue.

My perspective of you was askew.
Once you stung like a bee.
You always think about about you.
Even when it was overdue.
