They say that songs of love turn heartbeats into scores. But I'm feeling like a singer whose words are lacking worth. My mind goes spinning backwards when her sweet lips speak my way. and I pray for some inner strength to say what I should say. Her beauty stalls my reason when her eyes look straight through me then I see her with some other guy so I never speak my piece. Like a curse that blankets virtue I speak through a ghost of words and though they might seem open they're not what I want heard. Chorus: So if truth makes the best of love then silence is a scream but I can't seem to open up and let it out of me. I'm lost and lonely deep inside the silence of a scream. She comes to me so pleasently and her words of choice thrill me. I vision her within a space where my heart is filled with peace where I tell her everything I feel beyond my foolish pride but then I feel that same old hurt when she's with the other guy So if truth makes the best of love then silence is a scream but I can't seem to open up and let it out of me. I'm lost and lonely deep inside the silence of a scream The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up |

Eric...I think you let a bit of the heart break around the scream out in this song of tormented love. Wonderful writing, as always..and a haunting refrain. |

Chorus: So if truth makes the best of love then silence is a scream but I can't seem to open up and let it out of me. I'm lost and lonely deep inside the silence of a scream. ========================================== E-babes is singing some powerful blues... this just aches off the page...haunting. I can hear the wailing guitars and even a harmonica crying ... very cool song Eric...so deep and emotive. A good "cry in your beer" song  I'm like a broken record that you can play ... |

"So if truth makes the best of love then silence is a scream but I can't seem to open up and let it out of me. I'm lost and lonely deep inside the silence of a scream" ------------------ Wow! This is a beautiful melancholy...this really touches me more than I can explain at the moment~ Into my library this goes Take care, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |

Eric, the scream is heard, and felt. I sure wish I could hear you sing and play this one. "Chorus: So if truth makes the best of love then silence is a scream but I can't seem to open up and let it out of me. I'm lost and lonely deep inside the silence of a scream." You're just screaming with emotion in this chorus, and some of us not only heard, but remembered. PS. I 'borrowed' the title and included it into a medley of titles. Plese don't sue!
