  Here I sit~
alone...
Feeling just that.

Hearing nothing but
the leaky faucet dripping
one
single
drop
at a time.

Seeing nothing but
you and me
in the lonely memory
of my mind.

Feeling nothing but
loneliness...
emptiness...
confusion...

I wish we could have worked things out,
But as time changes,
so do we.

And here I sit~
alone~
listening to the faucet
drip...
drip...
drip...

Repetition is good, it works well for this poem. But overuse of periods gets a little repetitive, and is most cases is not needed. Keep them after the drips, but maybe omit them other places. Good job!

The single words add to the sense of the faucet dripping. I like your poem.
