I gripped her hand as if it was a cross
She tempted me into her wicked web
And as we sneaked inside upon our toes
The ground shook from every step

Just as the locks await the fitting keys
My stainless heart awaited its embrace
She kissed me once with autumn’s breeze
Then, disappeared without a trace

Came winter... windows froze with ice
And ashen snow fell on the surface
And in my dreams I sought her eyes
Like every key that seeks its purpose

Any suggestions on how to make the second stanza rhyme a bit better, the last line seems to break the flow a bit...

Master......take out the single before the word trace, it dramatically improves the flow
