Belated Confession. (Klaus to Caroline)

You know, I can clearly remember

The days I were human,

The days, when I could feel

At least some care, love.

When all we were children,

So innocent and pure.

When all we need was

food, shining sun and some fun.

And I couldn't turn off or forget

Those ugly feeling,

When you're trying to fight

Against changes inside.

When you slowly transform

Into killer, beastly creature,

And the only thing you're craving

Is how to set thirst for blood.

The rest thousand years

My life was so wasted...

I was a blind scary beast

With only passion to break curse.

I was a lonely vampire,

Who has his family daggered,

But whose dream was to feel

How sun makes your skin warm;

How it's to be again around nature,

Like in first time, ride your own horse,

Play with little sister,

Be that innocent creature,

Whose dreams were like fairy tales...

But all that was lost.

I'm not saying I'm a saint,

I'm not saying I'm a hero!

I know, what I've done

And I know how much I'm cruel.

But the problem is I don't know,

How to change,

Become your lover or teacher.

I don't know how to create the life, 

Only how to ruin it.

You said I'm selfish,

Trying to buy you and not understand.

I either compel or simply kill people,

And all these my drawings -

Was it all a waste?!

A waste of precious time,

A waste of my feelings,

Which were relieved

After long cold decades

Of loneliness, shadows.

It's like I'm breathing,

Like I'm a teen boy in love now,

Who tries to win his lady from dreams.

Is that hard to believe?

Is that hard just to see

My attempts to please you,

My attempts to convince you,

That the whole different side

Exists inside this beast?!

Hybrids..Of course!

You think they're just slaves,

Think I subdued them

To pursue my evil wishes.

But I'll let you in a little secret -

They are my comrades,

They're like my friends...

Surely, it's easy to judge,

When your whole life

You were treated like princess.

But I was alone, rejected and hated,

One from my kind -

A monster, indeed.

Without no one at my side,

Without no one whom to trust.

I'd like to die once or twice,

I wished I could end my eternal life.

But I don't need your sorry,

And I don't need this pathetic look.

I just ask for your patience

To the beast...Don't ignore me!

I ask for your forgiveness,

I beg for your kindness.

You want me to understand you -

Then try to understand me too.
