We danced this night while memories hung above
Like little paper lanterns illuminating the sky
We held on our wrists priceless gold watches
Counting every second that flew on by

Curling her fingers around my neck
She murmured soft promises in my ear
I laid my forehead against her own
Watching the stars shine in her every tear

The lanterns fell and time halted to a stop
I reached for her shaking hands again
A crack in the earth had formed between us
And I was sure love amounted to nothing then

Our bond broke apart, her face became a blur
But I live to learn and so I learned to live
Those paper lanterns still light up my sky
And somehow I know they'll never give

The flow is a bit off in parts, but other than that it's great. =]

Can't you think of a title yourself?
I will not respect you as a writer until you start being more original.
No matter how good your poetry may sound.

Titles don't really mean that much to me, I just think of the first thing
that pops into my head.

I called it Paper Lanterns because the song inspired me to write the poem.

It's sort of like a dedication to Billie Joe's song.

And I don't see why someone wouldn't respect me because of one poem,
I've written over a hundred others...all with original titles.
