Okay, nice initial edit. A couple minor points below:

to the core of the meatĀ 
twist and yank
cracking temples in a vice grip

hammer through bone and gristle
take that sharpened fork
heated sear my tender neckĀ 
claw it off my tightened shoulders

with dull saw my jaw ragged--I think you could cut the "with"
grind out each tooth
every nerve alive
sensitive flesh shivers--watch for those telling comments. Let the action convey not the modifier. I'd cut sensitive

mouth waters with contained spew
taste of rot and bananas --bananas are a nice sensory add
every little sound so deafening--I think this would be stronger if you cut so deafening
chews off my ears

is this what death feels like.
no. no.

This hurts so much better!! Thank you for the idea of adding space. Like you can take a real breath before the heart beats another stanza of pain.
Just some thoughts.

Best,

Todd
