I fear only one - Who am I?
$begingroup$
The cave has me, the wind hasn't
The stories, the pirates, the demons, the lands...all nothing if it isn't me
The masterworks of science revolve 'bout me
You'll all be blind if it ain't me
The rock has me, the sun hasn't
But still
I fear only one
The one that doesn't let me go.
Tell me - who am I?
Edit: It seemed as if "all nothing if it isn't me" was a standalone line, so I merged it in the second line
Edit 2 (These edit was made after four answers - apologies for this)
Since the answers are almost the right answer, so I'll add a couple of more lines describing it.
You won't be here if you haven't me
I am the Poseidon, the Apollo and have half your food
I am in the black not in the white
I am in a chopper not in a plane
The literature worships me, for it be horrible if it ain't me.

The answer I am going for is the
Sea/C/See
The cave has me, the wind hasn't
Cave has the letter "C"
The stories, the pirates, the demons, the lands...all nothing if it isn't me
All of the above is nothing if it is not seen
The masterworks of science revolve 'bout me
The building block of life is Carbon, commonly known by the scientific symbol of C
You'll all be blind if it ain't me
We are blind if we can't see
The rock has me, the sun hasn't
Rock has letter C , not sun
But still
I fear only one
The one that doesn't let me go.
???
You won't be here if you haven't me

Poseidon is the god of the Sea.
Apollo >> Honestly not sure about this, but I am reckoning that it is related to Apollo 11 landing on the Sea of Tranquility
Most food are chemically carbon-based, hence made mostly out of C atoms
I am in the black not in the white
I am in a chopper not in a plane
Former contains letter C, not the latter
The literature worships me, for it be horrible if it ain't me.
The Sea has many stories written about it, be it mythical, nautical fiction etc ....

Could it be
light?
The cave has me, the wind hasn't
The wind cannot really get light, light goes through it for the most part, while caves at least have an entrance that gets light
The stories, the pirates, the demons, the lands...all nothing if it isn't me
light is present in all of them
The masterworks of science revolve 'bout me
speed of light, like Einstein's $E = mc^2$
You'll all be blind if it ain't me
sight relies on light
The rock has me, the sun hasn't
rocks do get light, but the sun loses light constantly
But still
I fear only one
The one that doesn't let me go.
that would be the shadow I believe. Where there is light, there is darkness. EDIT: Or a black hole (credits to Arnaud Mortier in the comments)

Alright, here's my guess:
It might be
dark
The cave has me, the wind hasn't
I'm pretty sure that I'll find darkness inside a cave, and wind doesn't carry "dark".
(What? Black smoke? No, that's the color from the matter within it!)
The stories, the pirates, the demons, the lands...all nothing if it isn't me
Some stories could be dark, pirates are mostly dark(mentally, I mean), and lands... how could we found it easily without some "dark" while in the ocean?
The masterworks of science revolve 'bout me
I guess it is talking about the research for the universe, including the Dark matter.
You'll all be blind if it ain't me
A kind of protein named visual purple do exist in our eyes, so we could "see" in the dark.
Completely darkness? Yeah, we might can't see, yet the visual acuity didn't get killed, meaning that we wouldn't be actually "blind".
However, if there were no dark for our eyes... we could be completely blind.
The rock has me, the sun hasn't
It looks like the same logic in first part, a rock could have some darkness, not only shadow, but hole/cave made by erosion.
But sun... I know about sunspot, but usually we would see it without dark.
If that's the case, there might need a science tag on the question.
But still
I fear only one
The one that doesn't let me go.
Light would be the only one thing that limit dark.
Well... this looks a lot like the Bewilder's answer, yet OP has some clue below, which make this one more reasonable, so I would give it a shot.

Is this
The earth?
This fits all lines of the poem - wind and sun don't have this, rock and cave do. None of the stuff mentioned in lines 2-5 could exist without it.
As for the last part,
Gravity hold the earth together and doesn't let go.

Is it
A shadow
The cave has me, the wind hasn't
A cave is naturally dark, and wind is too thin to project a visible shadow
The stories, the pirates, the demons, the lands...all nothing if it isn't me
I believe this is referencing shadow theater, or the "actors" in Plato's Cave
The masterworks of science revolve 'bout me
Science has spent a lot of time studying light, and therefore shadows by association
You'll all be blind if it ain't me
The eyeballs project light onto a darkened surface to process images. Without shadows, this process could not work
The rock has me, the sun hasn't
Because the sun is emitting light in all directions, it doesn't have a shadow by normal standards
But still / I fear only one / The one that doesn't let me go.
A shadow can never be separated from the object that made it, because its existence depends on the object blocking light

The one that doesn't let me go would rather be a rot13(oynpx ubyr), right?

Your answer is very close as two of your explanations are also valid for the answer I've thought.

Alright, here's my guess:
It might be
dark
The cave has me, the wind hasn't
I'm pretty sure that I'll find darkness inside a cave, and wind doesn't carry "dark".
(What? Black smoke? No, that's the color from the matter within it!)
The stories, the pirates, the demons, the lands...all nothing if it isn't me
Some stories could be dark, pirates are mostly dark(mentally, I mean), and lands... how could we found it easily without some "dark" while in the ocean?
The masterworks of science revolve 'bout me
I guess it is talking about the research for the universe, including the Dark matter.
You'll all be blind if it ain't me
A kind of protein named visual purple do exist in our eyes, so we could "see" in the dark.
Completely darkness? Yeah, we might can't see, yet the visual acuity didn't get killed, meaning that we wouldn't be actually "blind".
However, if there were no dark for our eyes... we could be completely blind.
The rock has me, the sun hasn't
It looks like the same logic in first part, a rock could have some darkness, not only shadow, but hole/cave made by erosion.
But sun... I know about sunspot, but usually we would see it without dark.
If that's the case, there might need a science tag on the question.
But still
I fear only one
The one that doesn't let me go.
Light would be the only one thing that limit dark.
Well... this looks a lot like the Bewilder's answer, yet OP has some clue below, which make this one more reasonable, so I would give it a shot.

Is this
The earth?
This fits all lines of the poem - wind and sun don't have this, rock and cave do. None of the stuff mentioned in lines 2-5 could exist without it.
As for the last part,
Gravity hold the earth together and doesn't let go.

Is it
A shadow
The cave has me, the wind hasn't
A cave is naturally dark, and wind is too thin to project a visible shadow
The stories, the pirates, the demons, the lands...all nothing if it isn't me
I believe this is referencing shadow theater, or the "actors" in Plato's Cave
The masterworks of science revolve 'bout me
Science has spent a lot of time studying light, and therefore shadows by association
You'll all be blind if it ain't me
The eyeballs project light onto a darkened surface to process images. Without shadows, this process could not work
The rock has me, the sun hasn't
Because the sun is emitting light in all directions, it doesn't have a shadow by normal standards
But still / I fear only one / The one that doesn't let me go.
A shadow can never be separated from the object that made it, because its existence depends on the object blocking light
