The dark is the veil for oblivion and ignorance
Where monsters lurk and devils smirk
It houses paranoia seeping through my bones
A dim sun bleeding into the sky, minimum luminosity radiated from the moon
Dark holds secrets of the unsolved, unwilling to let go.

@kkatherinekatt So beautiful! I think it would be better if you could add that the dark can house your comfort of sleep, giving you silence that weight your delicate eyelids. Or you might add the fact of gothic literature, the author being darkness itself that writes the stories kept in the dark, soon found by those of the light and are never translated to the actual meaning.
