'only Puppy Love'

He thought he'd console her
  'Twas only 'puppy love'
But once he'd left, she slammed
  her door tight with a shove

For what is more innocent
  What could be sweeter
than an adoring, sweet puppy
  every day who would greet her

She sniffed in the daytime
  wept half the night
Darkness o'erspread her
  removing all light

And many years later
  she saw him and then ~
Her heart started bleeding
  from love born-again

This is what often happens "But once he'd left, she slammed her door tight with a shove"
