"I don't know what you want me to say"

my skin burns and bubbles until melts off

my muscles peel from artery and vein and capillary as they untangle and snap

my bones break, collapse, jut out of my flesh, disintegrate to dust

tears are squeezed from my bulged out eyes like I'm an old rag being wrung

my heart, now gouged from chest, from my melted skin, my peeled muscle and snapped vessels, from my broken ribs, my powdered bone, from my salty tears, still beats as I try to force it into your hands, my blood smearing over your palms.

and still, you repeat

"I don't know what you want me to say"
