I was lost315Please respect copyright.PENANAH475lAHxB9
315Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4ra53riEm
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.315Please respect copyright.PENANA8eP4xpdbMt

And then, in the abyss, I saw her.315Please respect copyright.PENANAmbQ1GFIVoK
Another Rose315Please respect copyright.PENANAmrQs3SalL1
315Please respect copyright.PENANAtVbmrC7nD3
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.315Please respect copyright.PENANAhmoixeHDfN
315Please respect copyright.PENANAkmQr9fQZ2g
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.315Please respect copyright.PENANAztP8H4Piws
315Please respect copyright.PENANAfsf3Pi9AcZ
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. 315Please respect copyright.PENANA1xuy3QbJrn

It was as if You were by my side again.315Please respect copyright.PENANAwQix29csSg

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.315Please respect copyright.PENANAkJwZrFT74r

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...315Please respect copyright.PENANA7w0QXMZbBn
315Please respect copyright.PENANA7WljuE22Ik
Not You.315Please respect copyright.PENANAC7K8vPHGlj
315Please respect copyright.PENANAkNNGgb0e0d
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...315Please respect copyright.PENANA0s6YnafGZx
315Please respect copyright.PENANAoNvL5m9Swt
I bought peach-colored paint.315Please respect copyright.PENANA3N6HUTeAnb
315Please respect copyright.PENANAMrGwBr9tRm
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.315Please respect copyright.PENANAiBnuMZmTVS
315Please respect copyright.PENANAFQSPkNqGta
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.315Please respect copyright.PENANAakGfa0I3CS
315Please respect copyright.PENANAptO4OygpwT
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.315Please respect copyright.PENANA12Ny8bO1U5

I had killed another Rose315Please respect copyright.PENANA0I20OxFLVN
315Please respect copyright.PENANAXP3ySycM8n
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.315Please respect copyright.PENANAKzB58ufxqx
315Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ln0UhFLwJ
I suffocated her with Your memory.315Please respect copyright.PENANA5DmQyOekGg
315Please respect copyright.PENANAGCLgqxuZlb
I loved her... to death.
