It's the little things

A word
or a sentence
a phrase
or a saying,
a sideways look,
a glance,
a soft touch.

It's the little things that get me,
so that i can't breath
even with all the love i receive.

A word can make me misjudge
and a sentence, make me think twice,
a phrase can make my throat dry
and a saying, might make me cry,
a sideways look, my sense it took
and that glance sent me into a trance.

A soft touch, as your fingertips
reach my fingertips,
just before they part,
that, well that would break my heart.

I think you’ve pulled this off really well. Could have so easily have been too sweet and icky, but it works. And that last stanza; ahh bless.

I agree with Drew. This could've easily been overly sweet but you made it an excellent, enjoyable read. The little things will always get you in the end.
