I was lost230Please respect copyright.PENANA1L7JXXO6UM
230Please respect copyright.PENANAhxkXMt1XHj
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.230Please respect copyright.PENANAN8kgB918YA

And then, in the abyss, I saw her.230Please respect copyright.PENANAEBjFbHIEnF
Another Rose230Please respect copyright.PENANAjrbfyhGMnZ
230Please respect copyright.PENANA5o2EJPTsxn
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.230Please respect copyright.PENANAkSk9gPfBR8
230Please respect copyright.PENANAwnAbn395op
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.230Please respect copyright.PENANACqJjKWGMzb
230Please respect copyright.PENANA4zypIVE409
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. 230Please respect copyright.PENANAgArukOiMEo

It was as if You were by my side again.230Please respect copyright.PENANAXzaWd141Aw

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.230Please respect copyright.PENANA2dRYMF6ofh

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...230Please respect copyright.PENANAr3YLTdPhqe
230Please respect copyright.PENANAinWyAkI22Z
Not You.230Please respect copyright.PENANA8C3jWarSBz
230Please respect copyright.PENANA73f1wdKnCp
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...230Please respect copyright.PENANAvfCSdcHFbX
230Please respect copyright.PENANAkm1PPGiRXh
I bought peach-colored paint.230Please respect copyright.PENANALjDJerCvkR
230Please respect copyright.PENANAvMkAqKCTl8
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.230Please respect copyright.PENANAHwUm422a82
230Please respect copyright.PENANAC4M75493u1
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.230Please respect copyright.PENANACxfaKm0E1l
230Please respect copyright.PENANAw54sk0U8yi
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.230Please respect copyright.PENANAFyb7WAO5HO
230Please respect copyright.PENANApK3LB4LneX
I had killed another Rose230Please respect copyright.PENANAUr3KIzo0x9
230Please respect copyright.PENANA8EGmrB0RuQ
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.230Please respect copyright.PENANAMqQuy5ENwY
230Please respect copyright.PENANArruJPd1kGn
I suffocated her with Your memory.230Please respect copyright.PENANApgccNSXTiA
230Please respect copyright.PENANAZWWHdvzT5c
I loved her... to death.
