This is what I believe that this song is about.
Things are rusted from the rain when they are forgotten about or left alone for long periods of time. This is about a relationship where one lover does not care about the other for reasons unknown, be it another person or entertainment or whatever, people do strange things.
Go on crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain
Flowers are insignificant. I would crush one without even thinking about it. Comparing a human to a crushed flower is truly calling someone worthless.
You hung me like a picture, now I'm just a frame
I used to be your lap dog, now I'm just a stray
Shackled in a graveyard, left here to decay
Left here to decay, left here to decay
Obviously the person he speaks about cares very little for him or may even resent him. All this stanza does is emphasize Bens feelings.
