I was lost295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWtDQAD75m
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzpMWnyySr
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmICvE5LIpz

And then, in the abyss, I saw her.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4OgUORpLw
Another Rose295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiln4RxKywE

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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPmI36Mqe0
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz2Z6hLoty
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri2AmjooHp

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. 295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P8wz7rMnw

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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleqszqaDZg

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...295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRXNi78lAn

Not You.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI2HQNVCeT
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6u77IwurD
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...295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbBW1aIr69

I bought peach-colored paint.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci6lTSCaPj
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIBuJhCK14
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyYFe0RAEN
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoMOM7zBq7
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomNMw59Ylw
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5yCbVpBZ5
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejVdeTB3UG

I had killed another Rose295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsbfiJILPc
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEtNDU29ph
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFpvSa0o0t
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlSJidB5QO
I suffocated her with Your memory.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iKeUm5dtn
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WK3LETR3p
I loved her... to death.
