SHE TALKED MY EAR OFF (FOR SONYA)

She could talk all day if she wanted 
Tell me her whole life story

But she stopped

When she talked my ear off

It fell off

In the middle of our conversation

She packed so much information in my head 
With all she said, my ear fell off

Now everything she said Is oozing out of a hole 
Where my ear was once connected

Now what can I do

Because I can’t hear her

As she tries to explain how to put it back on

I see her lips move with no words

She tries to get me to understand

As she talks with her hands

I still don't understand She just goes on

Even though she talked my ear off
