Stared into hell
a monster
Under her spell
my captor
I stared into the face
Of the one they call death
a chilling embrace
from her cold breath
Oh how I battled
and oh how I fought
I am forever shackled
Fighting for naught
Forever a slave now
a part of her plan
I was made to feel now
like less of a man
I played with fire
and i got burned
Gave into desire
A lesson learned.

My take on the quote.
"Battle not with monsters
lest ye become a monster
and if you gaze into the abyss
the abyss gazes into you."
Using my personal experience, from a bad relationship. I gave into a monster tried to fight it and became one myself.
