The Several Fails in the Tales of Lucy Gale pt. 5

Hot steam rises.
My skin ripens
brightens
except the lines that never healed,
lines too geometric
too designed to deny.

No longer that girl
I am now Lucy!
And yet, with a sneer,
her perverted tattoos
still stain my veneer.

Why can't my skin
hide the sin
which departs
from my heart?
With the inside clean
how can the out beam
darkness?
