I call it awesome.
The French sometimes do what they call a "rime pour l'oeil" (rhyme for the eye), because the most important thing in French rhymes is that they have to be written in the same way, even if it's not the same pronunciation.
This can lead to associate two words pronounced differently, like in Baudelaire:
"Oreiller de chair fraîche où l'on ne peut aimer,
Mais où la vie afflue et s'agite sans cesse,
Comme l'air dans le ciel et la mer dans la mer..."
("Aimer" is pronounced "aim-ay", while "la mer" is pronounced "la merr" - but both are ending with -er so it's valid!)
Or they can use a wrong spelling to match the word with another word, this is even seen from the very authoritarian Racine :
"Mes yeux sont éblouis du jour que je revoi,
Et mes genoux tremblants se dérobent sous moi."
(You should write "revois", but it would be impossible to use "moi" then - so Racine willingly makes a spelling mistake that even a child wouldn't do).
Do what you want to do, and just say: "I'm doing it like the French."

... that's not what assonance is.

Assonance (sometimes known as internal rhyme) is when the vowel sounds in the middle of words is the same, but the consonants at the end of the words don't match so its not a full rhyme.

It doesn't sound like that's what you were looking for.

Just go full tilt and convince yourself that you are happy and that everything you think you could have done has actually happened. After a while it really becomes quite an uplifting thing. As long as you keep it reasonable, it's like it really happened.

Then when you remember that it didn't happen you can just either kill yourself or forget again.

It's been working pretty well for me so far.
