Welcome to the site
Is this visual poetry? concrete poetry? I'm never sure of the difference. I'm afraid I can't offer much thoughtful commentary on this style or e e cummings-like punctuation so I'll just give my impression. I feel like the first "drips" works well. For me, the drowning "me" doesn't work as well - maybe not enough letters in "me" for a visual impact. I think of drowning as a panicky, spastic experience, inconsistent with the drip of two letters. I don't know about the "and." Would something be lost without it? I get a sense of uneasiness and menace from this poem - water as danger and not as life-giving. Good to see a different form on the site. I'm curious to see your other works.

Well...
you've certainly made a splash, in your debut here! Not many of us here, have the knowledge of, or the inclination to, take advantage of advanced format. That being said; I like the emotion behind the work. It seems as though, one has the drowning of a personality by a lover as the premise? ~ Geezer.

Thank you so much! This is exactly the feeling of this poem, the despair, the unhappiness of a relationship or even a misbehaviour that leads to a drowning...
