I was lost330Please respect copyright.PENANAz810EHopkl
330Please respect copyright.PENANAErc7iKYztf
Nowhere, and yet there was no where to be lost in. A shadow of my former self, no longer a king, no longer a man. An empty shell, stumbling through a colorless world.330Please respect copyright.PENANAmU1lg4cK3f

And then, in the abyss, I saw her.330Please respect copyright.PENANAkJV5WUw6Vf
Another Rose330Please respect copyright.PENANAiNLmo7XEl6
330Please respect copyright.PENANANhwYVaO8L2
A Rose reminiscent of You in every way. Her stem, her thorns, her scent, her petals... it was as if You had returned, reborn in a new form.330Please respect copyright.PENANA6lOqkDAr5V
330Please respect copyright.PENANA0aprdUrP1s
She wasn’t a peach-colored Juliet like You, but an Alabaster with pure white petals, like freshly fallen snow. Her color stood in stark contrast to my deep darkness and despair. I knew she would bring color to my life once more.330Please respect copyright.PENANAv4PGlFshMP
330Please respect copyright.PENANABQew14WzPs
This time, I didn’t act recklessly. I didn’t grab her without thought as I had with You. She didn’t prick me, didn’t draw my blood. And when I held her close, I felt something I thought I had lost forever... happiness. 330Please respect copyright.PENANAyY4Kc81sZ4
330Please respect copyright.PENANA8dqsyGNi6t
It was as if You were by my side again.330Please respect copyright.PENANAAEMJ6Rv7Sb
330Please respect copyright.PENANARJKRdZHPPr
I took her home with me and tended to her with love and care. Every morning, I would wake to her delicate beauty, her presence filling the empty spaces in my heart with warmth and light.330Please respect copyright.PENANAa31FsaDeJb

But as the days turned into weeks, I began to despise her white petals. Their purity, once so beautiful, became a flaw. They lacked the peach hue that had once captivated my soul. It was the only thing that made her different from You, the only thing that made her...330Please respect copyright.PENANAubpnM0lann
330Please respect copyright.PENANAB6Q5QbOSig
Not You.330Please respect copyright.PENANA7HahvntM18
330Please respect copyright.PENANAKBPopvHJvN
I tried to love her as she was. I truly did. But the whiteness became a constant reminder that she wasn’t You. And so, in my desperation, I stole a trick from Your book, my dearest...330Please respect copyright.PENANAwzsYRdvNmK
330Please respect copyright.PENANAtnnu4VAvLr
I bought peach-colored paint.330Please respect copyright.PENANAuXjnr5nmn1
330Please respect copyright.PENANAyJ3F57oRnV
I knew ordinary paint would dry and wilt her, just as You had withered from my blood. So I chose a non-drying paint, and it worked. Her pristine white petals absorbed the delicate shade of peach, and she was finally, truly You.330Please respect copyright.PENANAdXIIlvt3Sv
330Please respect copyright.PENANAQXOpoJ8kX5
But as the days passed, I realized my grave mistake. The paint that gave her Your color also suffocated her. It coated every petal, blocking her pores and smothering her life.330Please respect copyright.PENANAnoxg64YeNf
330Please respect copyright.PENANA6EvL15BHfx
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.330Please respect copyright.PENANAFvQO0l6exH
330Please respect copyright.PENANAFCNWoacqyF
I had killed another Rose330Please respect copyright.PENANADRt2DQ8WBh
330Please respect copyright.PENANA3Exr4j9yke
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.330Please respect copyright.PENANAwOeIt2cXXW
330Please respect copyright.PENANAhgoNuedEwc
I suffocated her with Your memory.330Please respect copyright.PENANAbNmCHb6rgd
330Please respect copyright.PENANAG8yLYsBKdZ
I loved her... to death.
