Empty, hollow,
metallic
like a tin can
heart still pounding away
obtrusive as ever
<i>electrified</i>
all the nerves in my body
dropped down into my feet
bottomed out
the bottoms out
hijacking my awareness
any only only
and weighted down
empty, hollow,
wavering shell
solid
electric
dripping down the inside(s)
melting in a standing statue
up down back up again
silent helpless
not quite apathetic
couldnt call out if I wanted to
. . . dont want to
heart never [beating]
in my ears
in my chest
(hollow, empty)
in my feet
(electric)
nerves all a mess
scrambled in and out
<i>electrified</i>
from the inside out
". . . in a cage, on antibiotics . . ."

Good one, Pip. It reminds me a bit of some Suzanne Vega.
For example:
Birth-day (Love Made Real) (music & lyrics by Suzanne Vega) -- a song about the experience giving birth, set to a driving anxious beat.
one thing I know
this pain will go
step through all that's left to feel
I wait to meet my love made real
don't move don't touch
don't talk so much
strip and find the place to kneel
I wait to meet my love made real
one thing I know
this day will go
don't touch don't talk crawl the wall
she's the ticket to the future don't listen down the hall
you can say your prayer to the head of this bed
when it begins at your knees and goes right to your head
birth-day
strap me down from wrist to heel
I wait to meet my love made real
one thing I know
this day will go
shake all over like an old sick dog
there's a needle here needle there tremble in the fog
it's a tight squeeze vice grip ice and fire
she's a hot little treasure and the wave goes higher
birth-day
birth-day
