I was lost313Please respect copyright.PENANAscpSxQu5Pc
313Please respect copyright.PENANAtoexmQ1jTc
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.313Please respect copyright.PENANAcLMS0OCmsG

And then, in the abyss, I saw her.313Please respect copyright.PENANAoGV7gZ7f3g
Another Rose313Please respect copyright.PENANALrZtPC4xGj
313Please respect copyright.PENANAbqrOF4TAaj
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.313Please respect copyright.PENANAjYD71ofVcE
313Please respect copyright.PENANAbXuZHWzUtN
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.313Please respect copyright.PENANAHd9oGwa12S
313Please respect copyright.PENANAaMNRamAMBY
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. 313Please respect copyright.PENANA9h4qnLNwSe

It was as if You were by my side again.313Please respect copyright.PENANA5FdMK8GTxy

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.313Please respect copyright.PENANANuK6yG0Ftd
313Please respect copyright.PENANA3Kn14ZgcKR
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...313Please respect copyright.PENANADPOZukQsI2
313Please respect copyright.PENANAN1FvnCrqmD
Not You.313Please respect copyright.PENANA1pZqAeg3o2
313Please respect copyright.PENANA59k8Vl8Xnd
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...313Please respect copyright.PENANAjeqjyZxqXA
313Please respect copyright.PENANAVXbtN5xbDB
I bought peach-colored paint.313Please respect copyright.PENANAhD3rcwPBTB
313Please respect copyright.PENANAvS29nfGlB9
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.313Please respect copyright.PENANABKKGOJ1DuV
313Please respect copyright.PENANAJDGAumz1K2
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.313Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2gDbqrUw2
313Please respect copyright.PENANAT7AggNFGIZ
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.313Please respect copyright.PENANAeN8z1zHcpw

I had killed another Rose313Please respect copyright.PENANApkRHrOMtBl
313Please respect copyright.PENANAgYrJUhzcfA
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.313Please respect copyright.PENANAvTW30aDAZA
313Please respect copyright.PENANAzkTBdOb8AI
I suffocated her with Your memory.313Please respect copyright.PENANAR1HTckGxxw
313Please respect copyright.PENANAbvxdpLyWzr
I loved her... to death.
