When we doubled up
It was not enough
He wouldn’t even look my way
Then the second time
He did not arrive
I let him know what I had to say
 
But third time’s a charm
At least in my case
We wined and dined
And felt so fine 
I admired his great taste
 
As young as twenty one
Carefree and having fun
His charm was hard to resist
A man with jealousy
Took that out on me
So he talked to him with his fists
 
And I wasn’t scared now
No, those days are done
Got a getaway car
And my own bodyguard
He even gave me a gun
 
I put it to his head
 
But lets rewind
Go back in time
When recited our vows
He grew promiscuous 
I became suspicious 
When he wasn’t around
 
But it became too much
What was he trying to cover?
What about me?
Or our family?
Did he even really love her?
 
But I stayed with the chaos
Things came after being lost
Was it even really wrong?
It became a normal routine
He always reigned supreme
And the danger turned me on
 
But chaos caught up to us
Sirens left the house in a rush
I panicked with the coke
It became like a joke
$60,000 in a toilet I flushed
 
So in the court I took a seat
And in that court he took a stand
He was coming clean
But it wasn't all for me
Who am I
In the witness protection program?
 
I lived the life
Of a mob wife
He even gave me a gun
The trigger in my hand
But I couldn’t
Pull
It

Author Notes
I wrote this after watching the movie Goodfellas. It is written from the character Karen's perspective, who is the wife of a mobster. In my head it's a song, and I hope you hear it when you read it. Maybe? Regardless, thank you for reading.

And a very big thank you to Susan F.M.T. for the art :)
