I was lost206Please respect copyright.PENANAI44xpM8Z1t
206Please respect copyright.PENANA8rGSjtYuOt
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANApOZ7JLTHhC

    And then, in the abyss, I saw her.206Please respect copyright.PENANAL85vIVGHVq
                        Another Rose206Please respect copyright.PENANAlR9LUAVGoZ
206Please respect copyright.PENANAkhr298Jjl0
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANANq1I2co4pH
206Please respect copyright.PENANAgRJUDXZjn1
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAtjeI5rn3Wi
206Please respect copyright.PENANAWr9BcSowMH
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. 206Please respect copyright.PENANAt7vJhIhiXc

It was as if You were by my side again.206Please respect copyright.PENANAuLuVfhcYbO
206Please respect copyright.PENANAxOyCX0qTiR
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANA9aNA5EFDi1

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...206Please respect copyright.PENANAaWfF4yxgRl
206Please respect copyright.PENANAIAru8TWAd5
                              Not You.206Please respect copyright.PENANAhwKDNum3Jy
206Please respect copyright.PENANAdyd6VzVZOc
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...206Please respect copyright.PENANAp6b0cq9d91
206Please respect copyright.PENANAqY2lufwC7c
I bought peach-colored paint.206Please respect copyright.PENANA161aQ6CO3k
206Please respect copyright.PENANAqTZBa09Ycg
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANA3xmvYieTp7
206Please respect copyright.PENANAz0ys8cHjDx
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANA7so5z7Nlin
206Please respect copyright.PENANAgMtcshjP9Q
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.206Please respect copyright.PENANAwzbI9JFGME

I had killed another Rose206Please respect copyright.PENANAKWr1c9nyMq
206Please respect copyright.PENANAVe6hznztVA
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.206Please respect copyright.PENANAB4UZ9vU2dI
206Please respect copyright.PENANAzM6Xc6uZpo
I suffocated her with Your memory.206Please respect copyright.PENANAJWIpJ1Hqsh
206Please respect copyright.PENANAir8HWeVQrs
I loved her... to death.
