Elegy Poem Examples
“My Life’s Companion”
You walked beside me through the years,
Through dreams fulfilled and fallen tears.
With every step, your love was clear—
A constant voice, forever near.
Though now you walk a different shore,
You’re in my heart forevermore.
“Shared Tomorrows”
We planned a life of days ahead,
But now I walk alone instead.
Still, I see you in every plan,
Each memory shaped by who you ran.
Our tomorrows may be few,
But every one still carries you.
“The Love That Stays”
Our love was quiet, strong, and deep,
A sacred bond I’ll always keep.
Through every laugh and every trial,
You made the journey so worthwhile.
Though life must move beyond today,
The love we shared will never stray.
“The Quiet Thread”
You were the thread that held things tight,
That bound the dark and made it light.
A quiet strength, a steady flame,
A partner true in heart and name.
Though now that thread is out of view,
It weaves through all I say and do.
“Home Was You”
Home wasn’t walls or wood or stone,
It was your voice, your touch, your tone.
The way you smiled when I was near,
The way you held my every fear.
Though I return to empty space,
I still find home in your embrace.
“The Rest of Me”
You were the part I didn’t name,
The missing piece, the perfect frame.
A soul entwined, a kindred flame,
Who knew my heart without a claim.
Though grief has come to take its due,
I’ll always be a part of you.
