The world went silent when you fell,
a quiet no one could ever tell.
No warning sign, no last goodbye,
just broken hearts beneath the sky.
Ziwema, your name I softly say,
like a prayer that won’t fade away.
You left too soon, without a sound,
and turned my whole world upside down.
I search for you in empty space,
in morning light, in every place.
But all I find is longing deep,
and nights that refuse to let me sleep.
Why did the heavens call you so fast?
Why couldn’t this moment be the last?
So many words I didn’t say,
now lost to time you took away.
Yet in my pain, your memory stays,
a quiet fire through all my days.
Though death has taken you from my sight,
you live in my heart, my soul, my light.
Ziwema, rest where sorrow ends,
beyond this world that couldn’t bend.
Until we meet in a place unknown,
I carry your love as my own.
