A sheet of black, forever unexplored
The embodiment of mystery and fear
In good versus evil tales of old folklore
It can crush a childs dreams, and steal a tough man's tear.

Never ending, never relenting
The bane of all human's lives
A fearless man is a liar, only prentending
As the fear hits like swords and knives.

This never ending threat will always loom
Even where your safe, at home, at a park
This thing can never be evaded, at night comes the gloom
And no matter what anyone says, they will always be afraid of the dark.
Laments of passion
Obstructed by fear.
Under guises of jovial chatter;
Incredulous hopes
Steadily feasting away-
Eating away at my heart.

I like the meaning of your poem. Really,I could relate to this at some points cause I honestly,still sleeping with the lights on because I am too afraid of the dark. I would say that darkness and I weren't really in a good term (hehe) so I do agree that
..no matter what anyone says, they will always be afraid of the dark.
. Keep writing! :)
