You only hear the music

You walk down the road
To that place that you both love
Preparing to forgive
But not for the loss of love
And the breaking of your heart
 
You only hear the music         
When your heart begins to break
So my darling, hold onto the stereo
And let me take you away
 
Your heart is still breaking
But listen to the music
And imagine another day
Tomorrow will soon come
And your pain will fade away
 
You only hear the music         
When your heart begins to break
So my darling, hold onto the stereo
And let me take you away
 
You put a strong front up
But darling I know you better than that
I can tell your world is crumbling around you
But keep on that brave smile
And I’ll be here to hold onto you when you fall
 
You only hear the music         
When your heart begins to break
So my darling, hold onto the stereo
And let me take you away

Well, its very expressive. It conveys strong emotion, and the basic plot is clear: Hope in the midst of turmoil. A few more details, not so many that they take away the mystery, but a few more details would be nice. Overall, it leaves us with more questions than answers, and in my opinion, that sometimes is the best kind of poem.

I like this piece a lot, and the way It describes music, not just as an art, but as something that helps take away the sender king of heartache, like a painkiller, my advice on improvement is limited, but make it a bit clearer the role "me" is playing, a friend, an invisible, what?

I thought the word choice could have been a little more varied. "So my darling..." and "And...away" were inconsistently repeated, and that gave me a little pause as I was reading it. But maybe that's what you were trying to do, make the reader look for a pattern...

I would also have changed "You put a strong front up" to "You put up a strong front". It makes the line feel a lot more active.

Otherwise, nice poem.
