She Pines For Him

She pines for him
As he speaks of his nights
Screaming phone calls
From unnamed voices
She sighs at me
While I laugh at her desire
He tags me with a number
As I notice the lack of worth
I hear the rumors, the gossip
Because no one thinks I’m listening
I know about her
I know about him
And I probably know about you
