Elegy Poem Examples to Honour a Fiancé

“A Future Interrupted”

We planned the days, the vows, the rings,

The quiet joy that love life brings.

But time had other plans for you,

And left me with a sky less blue.

Though plans are lost, your love remains,

A song that runs through all my veins.

“The Ring Still Shines”

The ring still sits where you once placed,

A golden loop I can’t erase.

It doesn’t bind, but holds me tight,

A symbol of your love’s true light.

Though you’re not here to say “I do,”

That promise still lives on with you.

“Almost”

Almost married, almost more,

Almost made it past that door.

But love, you were already mine,

In every promise, every sign.

Though life cut short what might have been,

Our love was real, not just a dream.

“In Every Silent Plan”

The trip we booked, the home we sought,

The silly gifts we never bought.

The names we picked but never used,

The vows we wrote but never fused.

Each one remains, though you’re not near,

A love unfinished, pure and clear.

“My Chosen One”

Among the world, I chose your name,

And with that choice, I lit a flame.

A bond so deep, no time could shake,

A dream we built for both our sake.

Now though you rest, my heart still knows,

The love we had still blooms and grows.
