We will stand the test of time!
For you, I'll wait in line.
Though enemies are all around,
Battered by the horrid sound,
I will wait, oh love of mine.

My spirit is failing fast,
I fear this is my last.
But you inspire to hold strong,
To keep fighting further on,
Watching each minute slowly pass.

My legs begin to fail,
Face and hands have paled.
You have not yet returned,
It is soon to be my turn!
Please come back, forget the sale!

I cannot possibly do more,
No longer worth fighting for.
My love, I long for thee,
I beg you to forgive me,
As I sprint my way towards the door.

I could not stand the time,
I've failed you, love of mine.
I thought myself to be a hero,
But failed to defeat my final foe,
The Walmart checkout line.
