That would depend. Short phrases are not typically protectable by copyright. Further unless you are using this as a mark in commerce, you don't get trademark rights either.

You really have not provided enough information to determine whether the use of the caption from your Facebook account infringes on any right you might have to the caption.

What sort of caption is it?

Does the caption identify you by name?

Does the caption work to identify a product or service you are marketing?

What sort of advertising is using this caption?

More information please. :)
