Is this poem correct or do villanelles have to follow a certain syllable structure?

Stay away at least for today
I’m finding it hard to stay apart
Stop being a hunter, and I’ll stop being the pray.

I remember, it was a warm May day.
I’ll be sure to drown out your heart
Stay away at least for today

Are you comfortable right now, sitting with me at the bay?
You are indifferent to all, yet I’m possessed by your black art.
Stop being a hunter, and I’ll stop being the pray.

I’ll promise this will be our last fray
Your fate is written, my sweet Pop-Tart.
Stop being a hunter, and I’ll stop being the pray.

I can see you run to hide in that pathetic stack of hay
It’s time for my apocalyptic plan to start.
Stay away at least for today

Stay still, I’m already on my way
Just shut up for a minute, sweetheart.
Stop being a hunter, and I’ll stop being the pray.

As you can see, life can easily fly away.
You stopped breathing now, you weren’t that smart.
Stay away at least for today
Stop being a hunter, and I’ll stop being the pray.
