I was lost215Please respect copyright.PENANAyem3760s8C
215Please respect copyright.PENANAMhjjf3BNiH
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAEIDW1H9kG0

And then, in the abyss, I saw her.215Please respect copyright.PENANAKeN5FYvCLe
Another Rose215Please respect copyright.PENANAj6iRyBNs62
215Please respect copyright.PENANAOOeSzZ6uTg
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAmpSET45ySG
215Please respect copyright.PENANAfRrAqJPRtF
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAORt12Vvpac
215Please respect copyright.PENANAVp4acqZ4wi
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. 215Please respect copyright.PENANAdNCT9n1jcs

It was as if You were by my side again.215Please respect copyright.PENANAgn5PPggC0h
215Please respect copyright.PENANA5Yd5N0C4ox
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAmGoRn2oWiW

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...215Please respect copyright.PENANAlKPnxACL85
215Please respect copyright.PENANAQmechD8V9r
Not You.215Please respect copyright.PENANAzcLYj4T3vc
215Please respect copyright.PENANAQec9AsjPRP
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...215Please respect copyright.PENANAOtt8FwipOz

I bought peach-colored paint.215Please respect copyright.PENANACu042MBpPP
215Please respect copyright.PENANAB3mxYHNlHC
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAwSq3nYA5YP
215Please respect copyright.PENANAggWqVVjdOJ
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAyACJUWQ3Q4
215Please respect copyright.PENANAvvJg1IlfcI
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.215Please respect copyright.PENANAZbvRjrXMky

I had killed another Rose215Please respect copyright.PENANALSopkAhxb8
215Please respect copyright.PENANAd0TFqOXDKJ
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.215Please respect copyright.PENANAiiJAGjz1ob
215Please respect copyright.PENANAKUJjz73Lhs
I suffocated her with Your memory.215Please respect copyright.PENANALD9P9pDRgB
215Please respect copyright.PENANAF73by3QD7J
I loved her... to death.
