Poem from Cat's POV, Mia and Zeb's daughter, about Zeb. Set around 15 years in the future from The '5 years later' RP. If Mia died having Cat and Steve, the twins, and Zeb had to look after them. That's not what's going to happen, but it was an idea and one point and I wrote this poem based on that. I have posted it as an independent fic, but thought I'd stick on here as well.
Hope you like it! Please review! :D

Catherine
3.30 am
They say I look like her.
The hair, the shape of the eyes.
Not the colour of course; that's yours.
Two drops of ocean in a pale face.
I wouldn't know.
If I look like her I mean.
A million times I have searched
For her smile, in old
Boxes and trunks and
Under the beds, looking
For windows to the past.
You have them all, I know;
Hidden from sight, as though
One glance, one
Single second of
Recollection is
Dangerous.
Maybe for you it is.
Maybe that's why you can't
stand to see me smile, because
My smile is
Her smile and
Our smile
Can cut open your old wounds
And bring back the memories
Of a cold,
Whitewashed
Hospital room where the
Air smells of disinfectant
And loss,
And a half of me lies still
In a cold white bed.
Time of death- 3.30am
