I was lost296Please respect copyright.PENANAOtUDt5fMRa
296Please respect copyright.PENANAbsFGnFh3uD
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.296Please respect copyright.PENANAcKdrqcdnAF

And then, in the abyss, I saw her.296Please respect copyright.PENANAb6ff29b91Y
Another Rose296Please respect copyright.PENANAppuHwnQAjI
296Please respect copyright.PENANAKSYu8Dr4Zi
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.296Please respect copyright.PENANAsU8GOug0KD
296Please respect copyright.PENANAdrJAOedYFE
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.296Please respect copyright.PENANAXNNHuig6t9
296Please respect copyright.PENANAEe70a0kzst
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. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAax4BEc5t8h

It was as if You were by my side again.296Please respect copyright.PENANAkao0PrWcGb
296Please respect copyright.PENANAaHUb4JEsRV
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.296Please respect copyright.PENANAZwvIew9LCB
296Please respect copyright.PENANAwqPmmRNAsg
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...296Please respect copyright.PENANAnIyOy1RLfm
296Please respect copyright.PENANAOWmBDOA8QC
Not You.296Please respect copyright.PENANAVC624y8N6m
296Please respect copyright.PENANA28vrFF6B1o
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...296Please respect copyright.PENANARuSOpv1k3g
296Please respect copyright.PENANAvHrvzuOAs5
I bought peach-colored paint.296Please respect copyright.PENANALKobhspTj2
296Please respect copyright.PENANA3rmINcSxGO
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.296Please respect copyright.PENANAxqhE3vi2JZ
296Please respect copyright.PENANAXs35eyEN0Q
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.296Please respect copyright.PENANAgbnne0O9J9
296Please respect copyright.PENANAkuXFqUDyqn
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.296Please respect copyright.PENANAmiOtw894iX
296Please respect copyright.PENANAMBfFfbl6fu
I had killed another Rose296Please respect copyright.PENANANu5iT7p2q5
296Please respect copyright.PENANAtIG6m5neE2
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.296Please respect copyright.PENANAxBKClcPTWx
296Please respect copyright.PENANAMmVIj1wMe6
I suffocated her with Your memory.296Please respect copyright.PENANAU5m0mMdOE7
296Please respect copyright.PENANAi4Q8vs4SGl
I loved her... to death.
