Oh, I liked this one. How obscure and lovely. I like the form. There are just some punctuation problems in this. Take a look at how I would punctuate this section of the poem:
"she remembers an advice:
to just go and do it,
but it’s not true anymore."
I would also take out the "in" located in the final stanza.
The word choice could be improved, but I really like the concept and questioning of the girl in the poem. Nice.

"she remembers an advice"... the phrasing an advice sounds really awkward. I think the advice would be better

I have to say though I didn't really like that stanza. The bolding seemed a bit amateurish and it just wasn't as poetic or powerful as the reast of the piece.

That said, I really like the title, it's interesting and definitely makes you want to read. I like the beginning too it asks some really great questions. The ending is great too. Definitely leaves the reader wondering.

Lovely, as always.

Psychological misunderstandings are always something of interest when I read your works. I am always interested in the psychological and mental things of the mind, and how people react to it. But I'm glad to see edge in your works too :-)

It's been a while! XD every time I try to come back on here, I always end up taking very long breaks again haha.

This was good. It has a very nice 'fairytale-esque' quality to it, as if this poem is only the introduction to a larger story, which I liked. The rhythm is well-crafted too, reflecting this quality.

I love the first three lines of the last stanza, it is a perfect image. I'm not too sure about the 'or...?' though, I mean, I can appreciate what it achieves but something about didn't seem to fit as an ending to a poem. But thats probably just personal preference.

The format is... okay. A problem I see in a lot of poems is the over abundance of italics and such, rendering their use obselete. And whilst this poem doesn't overuse them, for so short a space it seems... packed... if you know what I mean.

Only other thing I noticed was that 'she remembers an advice'... 'an advice' doesn't make sense to me.

Anyways, keep up the good work.

That carriage black will come on any day
Now sooner than once I would have ordained.
A massive sun only a billion years,—
Just near a century for puny man.

Each moment’s goblet is replete with fey
In celebration of mystery’s reign.
As near stark precipice fate draws,— no tears ;
In living fully life there’s nothing wan.
