Okay, the main thing to understand here is what the poem is about, which is indicated by the title. The speaker is speaking to a "discarded lover" telling them (we don't know the sex of either speaker of discarded lover) what they should do.
The speaker is saying that new, raw, emotions are disgusting and revolting. This is just like a newly dead bird. Once the bird has been dead awhile and rots all away, it's clean and not repulsive anymore.
The speaker is telling the discarded lover to go away and not talk to the speaker, not ask for any emotional support or anything, until the emotions are more like the clean white bones of the bird that has been dead for a long time.
