No longer will you be * inferior, superior to me.
Those days are gone, they are now passed,
for there are other fishes in the sea.
I must make this statement, clear as it can be,
at my boiling point, ready for this bomb blast;
No longer will you be inferior, superior to me.
Can't you see you are nothing more to me.
You're just a shadow of this bitter past;
for there are other fishes in the sea.
For it's the truth that will set me free.
These words to live by, to live life at last;
no longer will you be inferior, superior to me.
This is my anguish and now I do see,
with all I am these words I now cast;
for there are other fishes in the sea.
I now depart from your fleeting beauty,
feelings of you and you and the rest fade fast.
No longer will you be inferior, superior to me,
for there are other fishes in the sea.
* Inferior + Superior = NOTHING - NOTHING MORE

The villanelle is a great form to use to express deep and powerful feelings. You have done well with this one! It is so good when we are free from those damaging relationships that have plagued us for years. I feel the freedom in this poem. Very well done!
