Eric - How I interpret it

Marked NSFW for mentions of SA.

(I'm not very good with writing properly, so i apologize if i start rambling!)
The way I interpret it is being in a toxic relationship, and giving your body to them. the idea that 'well, if they love my body, they must love me'.

"You like control, well so do I" reminds of how it can feel like you're in control, choosing when to undress, even if you're nowhere near being in control.

"You can come closer, I'll let you hurt me, how you choose." Letting them push boundaries, and do things that hurt you, because 'this is what happens in relationships'/'I deserve this'

"This view of you, of the top of your head, makes me forgive you." the way your brain can shut down during it, protecting you from the trauma.

"Blue light, dark room, the white of your teeth, as you smile at my trembling shoulders." the fear of 'what will they do now?'

"I'll sell, I'll sell my whole to you. What's my, what's my, what's my price? How about, just a part of you, cause I want, I want..' staying with them, giving them what they want, because 'toxic love' still has love in it.
