This is not about a physically abusive relationship.
"The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine"
When she tells him I'm yours and your mine it is a slap in the face because she is with someone else. It hurts worse than an actually open hand or closed fist slap. They would both feel better than being toyed with.
With this said just the little time he gets with her is worth the pain.
"Like sleep to the freezing" = when someone is freezing to death they fall asleep and don't feel the pain anymore. He has now accepted that the only way to be with her is to be her second choice and have little time with her. It's still worth it but it's killing him.
Yes. I think you have it here. The line "sleep to the freezing" is certainly inferring death as you say, and is the reason I logged on to look up the lyrics. You hit this nail on the head: he is in love with him and she is not in love with her. Truly beautiful and touching lyrics.
