I was lost545Please respect copyright.PENANAkY2oHR0lca
545Please respect copyright.PENANAOJWqF1KyQL
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.545Please respect copyright.PENANAeWrJge8KWy
545Please respect copyright.PENANA5BYLMUKn7F
And then, in the abyss, I saw her.545Please respect copyright.PENANAk4vk5ZgIEk
Another Rose545Please respect copyright.PENANALzMQ4xOWNX
545Please respect copyright.PENANAUkFFJbXORr
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.545Please respect copyright.PENANAsd0fLXcfIv
545Please respect copyright.PENANA2RJuSFx0HC
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.545Please respect copyright.PENANA7QQ82W0xHW
545Please respect copyright.PENANAf1WQjdxOi3
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. 545Please respect copyright.PENANApQ6jXDHwXm

It was as if You were by my side again.545Please respect copyright.PENANANmPHQ8pCPP
545Please respect copyright.PENANAyrck5IF68p
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.545Please respect copyright.PENANAVcq69HOOyB
545Please respect copyright.PENANAVPGRdtBvec
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...545Please respect copyright.PENANASFgzPc4ZmU
545Please respect copyright.PENANAWlFx1LWsrA
Not You.545Please respect copyright.PENANAmRh5w03P0U
545Please respect copyright.PENANA1lwzRdui80
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...545Please respect copyright.PENANAC02VJoxv18
545Please respect copyright.PENANAO16PeE1FuI
I bought peach-colored paint.545Please respect copyright.PENANAwkQlGc5bwI
545Please respect copyright.PENANA2AO6BgtSfo
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.545Please respect copyright.PENANAMvqI930zAf
545Please respect copyright.PENANA4uv3pEsXrh
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.545Please respect copyright.PENANALksfBEBQRk
545Please respect copyright.PENANAwMEkNaDtUb
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.545Please respect copyright.PENANAYMpEGel5HE
545Please respect copyright.PENANAj1wdRFu047
I had killed another Rose545Please respect copyright.PENANAaXK79rTBxe
545Please respect copyright.PENANAKbJ6Cwcb3A
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.545Please respect copyright.PENANAxB43ekotAO
545Please respect copyright.PENANAK1UtGuF5WP
I suffocated her with Your memory.545Please respect copyright.PENANAiWcej0XhOb
545Please respect copyright.PENANAinkjAZFBeG
I loved her... to death.
