For the same reason brake fluid won’t go back into your brake lines if the line breaks on a car. It’s pressurized, which means, once there’s an opening, it’s exit only. You’d have to have a second heart with an open intake vascular system through your entire body if you wanted it to re-absorb internally. It would have to know when to start absorbing as well. It would also take in other unwanted fluids/contaminants and most likely kill you or make you extremely sick.
