Attention Must Be Expensive

Attention must be expensive 
Because you never pay me any.
I could watch you for hours
But you would never see me.


Attention must be expensive
Because I have none.
I may as well be a ghost
haunting your halls. 


I make a sound, 
Your eyes look in my direction,
But they never linger.


I could break a glass,
Punch a wall, 
But you would look through me
Like wet paper.
