Beneath the Veil of Mockery

Title: Beneath the Veil of Mockery

In-laws’ words, they sting so deeply,
Like poisoned arrows, hurled so slyly,
Backhanded digs, veiled in pure deceit,
Their passive aggression, oh, so discreet.

With every gathering, tension reigns,
Their disapproval veiled, but still remains,
Under the surface, disguised as jest,
Their snide remarks put our love to the test.

Oh, the weight of their mocking gaze,
The judgmental tone in each word they raise,
But we stand strong, unbowed and unbent,
In the face of their subtle, ill-intent.

We choose to rise above the spiteful scorn,
And shield our love from their seeds of thorn,
For we know our bond is resilient and true,
Built on trust and the love that we grew.

So, let them cast their barbs with their bitter tongues,
We’ll navigate this storm with our love unsung,
United, we’ll face the tempestuous tides,
As our love in silence, their mockery defies.
