why do we risk, knowing the lessons of the past

Wrapped in night there are
no angels.
Only embers, faintly glowing
amidst the darkest of hearts.
Waiting, for the fallen
and the lost.
And what draws us to them,
what attraction so intense,
yet subtle?
Creates this desire to fly close,
within reach,
despite the burning red.
