I was lost170Please respect copyright.PENANAmucSUbskh4
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPSkSBO2O5n
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAp0A7E9fBBe

And then, in the abyss, I saw her.170Please respect copyright.PENANAZutapgPVAG
Another Rose170Please respect copyright.PENANAnzEi16P8kp
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZAVUoh6GXf
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANA59jE47PBiW
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHKp94AnuDs
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANA01qlywrpYT
170Please respect copyright.PENANA89rO71p9zr
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. 170Please respect copyright.PENANABEk3Wn5fpl

It was as if You were by my side again.170Please respect copyright.PENANAKo9zMTjS9H
170Please respect copyright.PENANAjY985qipq4
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAejnnw8BW9T

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...170Please respect copyright.PENANAXexdkeibBs
170Please respect copyright.PENANA5GATPhCTrt
Not You.170Please respect copyright.PENANAHf00CXpyYF
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEkHt4eLQP7
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...170Please respect copyright.PENANAg56MbDxSBP
170Please respect copyright.PENANAClMSzSmA6r
I bought peach-colored paint.170Please respect copyright.PENANA3NqgnFpVE2
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOO4MW62RVD
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAuggURnJadT
170Please respect copyright.PENANAcaCtYRnVvQ
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAQADE32tWCm
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqh6nLpB7nL
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.170Please respect copyright.PENANAyjVuW2O2B4

I had killed another Rose170Please respect copyright.PENANAHrvLxTl2op
170Please respect copyright.PENANAcnE2pXSp3F
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.170Please respect copyright.PENANAgQBDQhIzhv
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsg94ifETHj
I suffocated her with Your memory.170Please respect copyright.PENANAOOoh20A06d
170Please respect copyright.PENANAakSPiplsXX
I loved her... to death.
