Heart of the Ocean's Depth

You don't know how I truly feel.                     
You enjoy my surfaces and my 
shores.         
My smiles, laughs and the fair 
countenance I choose for you to 
see.                                   

I am the deepest depth you will 
never see.
Many claim to love me, oh they do 
love the cool feel of me on a hot 
day, as they bathe in my tears. The 
feel of my white sandy shores as 
they thread on me hand in hand.                                        

I am so very lonely, they do enjoy 
my loneliness, it relates to theirs.                       
There's so much more to me.                        
Won't you swim a bit further?                        
Won't you delve a bit deeper,                       
open your eyes and see me true?                  

I am not shallow, I am life.                            
I am not my shores, 
I'm so much more

I cry because my heart is truly alive.             
Are not your tears salted water?                   
Am I not vast waters?
Am I not boundless tears?                
Have I cried in vain?
