I can see that, it's not really a suicide poem. But the imagery can still give that vibe when it's read.
Not so much a critique but yes, food for thought. I put out a book a few years ago and I was shocked at how some people reacted to the poems. But then once I thought about it wasn't overly surprised. For a few of them it was reasons like this. I was just having fun with writing, but to some readers they were too heavy.
