I was lost262Please respect copyright.PENANAbAcw9rElGG
262Please respect copyright.PENANANq5pAgYzeo
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.262Please respect copyright.PENANAGFHaniR97F

And then, in the abyss, I saw her.262Please respect copyright.PENANAUN5IsFL8ll
Another Rose262Please respect copyright.PENANADNPP5OTTPC
262Please respect copyright.PENANAiIM9azEMAk
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.262Please respect copyright.PENANAfpQwQh5myb
262Please respect copyright.PENANAroslTyra6G
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.262Please respect copyright.PENANAno1Ndvs0o1
262Please respect copyright.PENANAXEdcejmqeo
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. 262Please respect copyright.PENANAyNc8aTU5gM
262Please respect copyright.PENANARMaCrqKNqg
It was as if You were by my side again.262Please respect copyright.PENANARqKonLZwT9
262Please respect copyright.PENANAjoozC4Q5n6
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.262Please respect copyright.PENANAiZ7BA4HMG2
262Please respect copyright.PENANAMM0zSFUBhM
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...262Please respect copyright.PENANAmaajYWpmJW
262Please respect copyright.PENANA1n5pAw1LoV
Not You.262Please respect copyright.PENANAvEFid8fDDV
262Please respect copyright.PENANA0v8eML9Cil
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...262Please respect copyright.PENANAnTHPHB4G13
262Please respect copyright.PENANA5f2wFpYwlW
I bought peach-colored paint.262Please respect copyright.PENANANSX51oHDVz
262Please respect copyright.PENANANwdkdCqaFO
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.262Please respect copyright.PENANA5V4NZxID6T
262Please respect copyright.PENANA1ehv055q9q
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.262Please respect copyright.PENANAtrlaD89VQh
262Please respect copyright.PENANAgBeOlgEEDm
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.262Please respect copyright.PENANAu8P12X7Trg
262Please respect copyright.PENANAXX2Dv7nSqd
I had killed another Rose262Please respect copyright.PENANASgkClvy4PD
262Please respect copyright.PENANAcZCsgefrzA
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.262Please respect copyright.PENANAzt9b6zRbnF
262Please respect copyright.PENANAao5v8fGNLc
I suffocated her with Your memory.262Please respect copyright.PENANAYv7QbX5qWs
262Please respect copyright.PENANAKJsaEIl0xw
I loved her... to death.
