You won't like me but you celebrate with me

I cover myself in darkness
Pulling me back
Standing covered in shadows

Letting no one see me
I am watching all
Glazing an inch away

I am reading souls
Seeing secrets
Reading words from lips

Waiting for gossip
Picking up juicy lines
Unspoken rumors

I am picking at people
Luring in darkness
Sneaking in and out

Flipping where I can
Tilting marriages
Ruin what I can

Tell me who am I?
