Pined away for his attention

He said Rick got his power from pitting Jane and Nancy against one another while they both pined away for his attention. Mark said Jane should let Nancy win and let Rick go. He said Jane deserved a man who loved only her and didn't continue to look back at another woman.

Hi, what does the expressions in bold mean? Thanks!
