"Asked whether the abusive relationship described in “Drawn To The Blood” was his own, he simply answers, 'yes'." - Interview with Uncut Magazine, April 2015

This song is about Sufjan's own abusive relationship with a male lover.

@ilurvepibbles or a female lover. He often sings from varying perspectives, and has been VERY careful about not revealing his sexual orientation.

More likely, this is about his relationship with his mother (which is pretty much what the entire album is about).
