Penelope+3



Too long have I suffered inside these forlorn walls. All happiness has been drained from me, I am nothing without him. Too many days have gone by without a word from him. He is traveling the seas, to places unknown. Odysseus, my love, come back to me! Can't you see how I suffer? The pain is like a needle digging into my skin. Only you can take that needle out. The sun never shines through these great halls anymore. It is always dark and gloomy, Never any signs of light or hope. My love for him is so strong and overbearing. Oh, how I wish he could return from his travels! How could he leave me alone for so long?! I try to be strong, I do, but… I simply cannot get him out of my thoughts. You must understand how greatly I need him. My faithful nurse, Eurycleia, you are all I have! You keep me strong when I am weak, And for this I am thankful. Bring him back to me, please!
