I was lost163Please respect copyright.PENANAGTT8zmd6RQ
163Please respect copyright.PENANAYt0HWCggn4
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAbU9HUgEUAJ

And then, in the abyss, I saw her.163Please respect copyright.PENANAualgO09Uae
Another Rose163Please respect copyright.PENANAkr0lQ5e2Vz
163Please respect copyright.PENANAFraryTDd1B
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANA6AYwcileyk
163Please respect copyright.PENANAnEZfiwnMMe
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAirYDzfFjdO
163Please respect copyright.PENANAJf39BYhS9z
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. 163Please respect copyright.PENANANFdgyuUs6L

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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAp0RHfIVwau

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...163Please respect copyright.PENANA0niwkovPpr
163Please respect copyright.PENANAe3LVQQIyfI
Not You.163Please respect copyright.PENANA16s60anqQj
163Please respect copyright.PENANAabuphAfH2F
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...163Please respect copyright.PENANAmbbfFVWHzI
163Please respect copyright.PENANAHygHxn6rJR
I bought peach-colored paint.163Please respect copyright.PENANAOpqZv2Susv
163Please respect copyright.PENANAAlrBkmJG6d
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAPu70G2L6Ur
163Please respect copyright.PENANAfQdShxWCh5
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.163Please respect copyright.PENANAP6TzOc8khu
163Please respect copyright.PENANAMssKgf0cO4
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.163Please respect copyright.PENANAnDFAFthcKr
163Please respect copyright.PENANAhljNN7VRrf
I had killed another Rose163Please respect copyright.PENANAU8I4pBTBkr
163Please respect copyright.PENANABU1GeLrxOh
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.163Please respect copyright.PENANACylTfLpzKF
163Please respect copyright.PENANAH1uoqqfaKy
I suffocated her with Your memory.163Please respect copyright.PENANA809aID65Nk
163Please respect copyright.PENANAuDfLpjMYtV
I loved her... to death.
