I was lost190Please respect copyright.PENANAdYka29D2ls
190Please respect copyright.PENANAZl5HIjDFor
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.190Please respect copyright.PENANASiS5d3Vq0S

    And then, in the abyss, I saw her.190Please respect copyright.PENANAgiybNVgdvk
                        Another Rose190Please respect copyright.PENANAssNWAyPTlD
190Please respect copyright.PENANAuPYATy3X9Z
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.190Please respect copyright.PENANAI6JclnIkjo
190Please respect copyright.PENANAEcUuOQDqig
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.190Please respect copyright.PENANAI9PGCPzL5e
190Please respect copyright.PENANAo9xLbMTU8b
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. 190Please respect copyright.PENANAripqmJBtxS

It was as if You were by my side again.190Please respect copyright.PENANAzt1Aq32kxA
190Please respect copyright.PENANAbxgxSGoEkr
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.190Please respect copyright.PENANActKUx4AYqP

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...190Please respect copyright.PENANAT1aafVGpmd

                              Not You.190Please respect copyright.PENANA62yIteURiP
190Please respect copyright.PENANAL84OR4tFHk
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...190Please respect copyright.PENANAazmZFwnOyh
190Please respect copyright.PENANAhfr26DUfi3
I bought peach-colored paint.190Please respect copyright.PENANAZLhG97cfdU
190Please respect copyright.PENANAVzMI5tj233
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.190Please respect copyright.PENANAWAk6mAhMcz
190Please respect copyright.PENANAFc5hEqjsjV
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.190Please respect copyright.PENANAErrVAyjJ35
190Please respect copyright.PENANAz1UWjRiEiM
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.190Please respect copyright.PENANAFBvR12PqdX
190Please respect copyright.PENANAkXEUEJnf1V
I had killed another Rose190Please respect copyright.PENANA93LokLjP8r
190Please respect copyright.PENANAnBussMhcDy
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.190Please respect copyright.PENANAmFlobfjZu9
190Please respect copyright.PENANABHmbGCwIUv
I suffocated her with Your memory.190Please respect copyright.PENANAQTD2wbbRox
190Please respect copyright.PENANAns8QTL98ge
I loved her... to death.
