Your poem probe one of the mysteries of love for which there is no one answer, I'm sure of that. It is how much of our interior selves to we reveal to our partner in a true relationship. Must we reveal everything? Can we instead consider the relationship a new beginning and bury the past? The relationship in this poem is filled with ambiguities and its probably best that the man has left, because the closing three metaphors shows the woman has discovered things which are disturbing. And yet... perhaps there was something of true passion here. Would it be worth the risk? I can't tell, and I don't think the speaker of the poem can either.
