Castle Rock Influence

Tonight I’m going to drink until I drown I screw the cork from the Castle Rock And here I go again, scribbling words down The feelings linger, but yet can’t be found My heart still hasn't learned to walk Tonight I’m going to drink until I drown Someday I’m going to drive to her town I’m gonna’ go up to her door and knock And here I go again, scribbling words down I’m wasted and my mind is nowhere around The ticks and tocks are falling from the clock Tonight I’m going to drink until I drown Dylan’s music was her perfect sound She wrote all his lyrics down with chalk And here I go again, scribbling words down She was always my dearest proper noun But she threw away the only key to her lock Tonight I’m going to drink until I drown And here I go again, scribbling words down (Written for Anne's Villanelle contest, never wrote one of these before. I like this form!)

This is one of my personal favorites, very emotional and well written. Like you I have written my first villanelle. From what I can tell this is perfect. More importantly I love the emotion you have captured.
