I was lost164Please respect copyright.PENANAHLmn66DmeI
164Please respect copyright.PENANAbhpdhIFGhm
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.164Please respect copyright.PENANADGaMtRGqR8

And then, in the abyss, I saw her.164Please respect copyright.PENANA6rmI5T3f83
Another Rose164Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ1vx7H5rV
164Please respect copyright.PENANAmbBqr2p4gI
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.164Please respect copyright.PENANAWooTvS4Uhj
164Please respect copyright.PENANAbyHymN2GMY
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.164Please respect copyright.PENANAFetYGW5Sa7
164Please respect copyright.PENANAhVvQYkz7Jo
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. 164Please respect copyright.PENANAX9ivBS4iA6

It was as if You were by my side again.164Please respect copyright.PENANAxwTmwpAbMQ

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.164Please respect copyright.PENANAMlRRKSuycj

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...164Please respect copyright.PENANAt2DxevbceX
164Please respect copyright.PENANAsYSocjRK4I
Not You.164Please respect copyright.PENANAPZUDlCeWCh
164Please respect copyright.PENANACbwVEHLB6P
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...164Please respect copyright.PENANA7JkFVffNzr
164Please respect copyright.PENANAtNVI1Slu2U
I bought peach-colored paint.164Please respect copyright.PENANAPxA7fFgNFK
164Please respect copyright.PENANAkfz4812XxI
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.164Please respect copyright.PENANAoNUGsoUNIS
164Please respect copyright.PENANA51YLyjaWyk
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.164Please respect copyright.PENANA8Z4UQSVUZA
164Please respect copyright.PENANA71Cch00jPI
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.164Please respect copyright.PENANAhied3OXNbS
164Please respect copyright.PENANAvD7gzjtKXg
I had killed another Rose164Please respect copyright.PENANAmBdcFv6oDh
164Please respect copyright.PENANA80qMwWPQnU
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.164Please respect copyright.PENANAB10Wo3OtVh
164Please respect copyright.PENANADyLsNyCzfq
I suffocated her with Your memory.164Please respect copyright.PENANASHNx0kep2i
164Please respect copyright.PENANAfH5howUq09
I loved her... to death.
