I was lost333Please respect copyright.PENANAAhivvTgReF
333Please respect copyright.PENANAlmODgnjBzs
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAAlrX2n12AK

And then, in the abyss, I saw her.333Please respect copyright.PENANA6c1U7bLTd4
Another Rose333Please respect copyright.PENANAXaJJ6i0KIl
333Please respect copyright.PENANAWl1EE7HODD
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANA01M6ssbxfz
333Please respect copyright.PENANAztkjIV0eie
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANA5vGoROcpEI
333Please respect copyright.PENANAeQ0VrJ1BEZ
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. 333Please respect copyright.PENANAbDYNbUEV78

It was as if You were by my side again.333Please respect copyright.PENANA4X7U80ToxW
333Please respect copyright.PENANA3dpbmOelZc
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAgGsYoBB4rL
333Please respect copyright.PENANARYszMtxrLR
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...333Please respect copyright.PENANATnfvYmkjOt
333Please respect copyright.PENANAJcEkxVCwRQ
Not You.333Please respect copyright.PENANA7uk7F2h3lf
333Please respect copyright.PENANAucboQv0pRT
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...333Please respect copyright.PENANALqb6FFqZqQ
333Please respect copyright.PENANAUT7EjllRhN
I bought peach-colored paint.333Please respect copyright.PENANAMt0LfquLZN
333Please respect copyright.PENANAA7ZtIw6q5n
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAZXOIvNYT2f
333Please respect copyright.PENANADGI03ZxCn4
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAIz38SYryE6
333Please respect copyright.PENANAV14KE1VjR4
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.333Please respect copyright.PENANAXRdwzXdNHW

I had killed another Rose333Please respect copyright.PENANAj2wT3D2fJe
333Please respect copyright.PENANAhqxNerdEhA
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.333Please respect copyright.PENANA4MSm3s5XXh
333Please respect copyright.PENANAMwLuvwJ0MN
I suffocated her with Your memory.333Please respect copyright.PENANAbARQQlkLOo
333Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5POTHkcI6
I loved her... to death.
