Assuming

I was black. You were white. We fitted perfectly like a zebra’s skin. I was low when you were high. In finding ourselves, we took a great spin. I was hot when you were cold. I helped you have some warmth within. And in helping you, I felt drained. I had shrunken when you grew bold. All because of the assuming sin.
