I was lost212Please respect copyright.PENANA3XieeBkEHX
212Please respect copyright.PENANAqv1cf3u9Oe
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAWZGWl3wSWA

And then, in the abyss, I saw her.212Please respect copyright.PENANA0SzKDNwCA6
Another Rose212Please respect copyright.PENANAVXa2IqC8HA
212Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7QOdZ3oBA
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANA2rBLeBKGKe
212Please respect copyright.PENANAXNnk87Lce4
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAVsmoXmShQh
212Please respect copyright.PENANA5yomfyLpto
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. 212Please respect copyright.PENANAXmiFG8aNcW

It was as if You were by my side again.212Please respect copyright.PENANAYroBdPjTlF

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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAE39UJwEnQW
212Please respect copyright.PENANA3dNEXr82Hn
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...212Please respect copyright.PENANAsTeuV9sKu4
212Please respect copyright.PENANAYXmJTU1ikW
Not You.212Please respect copyright.PENANA3XeRfgrudC
212Please respect copyright.PENANAw8nOS6XUko
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...212Please respect copyright.PENANAQYNMbNxGhF
212Please respect copyright.PENANArU1DRg5jCZ
I bought peach-colored paint.212Please respect copyright.PENANAxXc305Pjy7
212Please respect copyright.PENANATGpBNUpm4m
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAqQJQJt73bq
212Please respect copyright.PENANAeoiNH0KQEA
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAaXK7vd0jAL
212Please respect copyright.PENANAkQEzrjOeCO
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.212Please respect copyright.PENANAdgNV9EBRo5

I had killed another Rose212Please respect copyright.PENANA13Io1UTq8y
212Please respect copyright.PENANA4dQJ7N1Hww
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.212Please respect copyright.PENANA6CyYjv61Yh
212Please respect copyright.PENANAPzwQYcgU0z
I suffocated her with Your memory.212Please respect copyright.PENANAmOcrdiMUem
212Please respect copyright.PENANAqzkD1Gc1DD
I loved her... to death.
