Shock Shock Shock

you were pink talking and walking gripping your chest and as we gowned you did our test you gasped before we finished filling out our forms pupils dilated as life escaped shock shock shock we shocked you your muscles froze you gasped moaned at us "why?" your heart came back grabbing me by the sleeve your fear gripped my throat like strong hands i lied to you "It will be okay, let us help you" and i knew i was lying and i watched you focus on me only a moment you saw my deceit and you slipped out of the cracks in the walls shock shock shock you didn't feel these shocks heap of flesh bounding upward i knew you had escaped i looked up to see if i could see you drift away

I think this is appropriately named. It seems the shock is not his, but yours, was that intentional?.
