How can a poem be untitled?

You taught me purple
and made me pay attention to laughter
 when I most wanted to turn away
from the truth of
the sun.
It fades at almost the same time every night
with or without me standing out there watching it.
 
And what I really wanted to say is that your beauty silences me
and humbles me golden
just like that old sun.
