It was a broken ministry,
just your mother, your dad,
eternal undertaker in common Saturday,
and a host of other guests.

You smiled when I walked over,
wearing your black trousers, like me,
instead of your usual black skirts
that mimic your father's profession.

Handing out samples in a grocery store; --That was a great line break
I guess when every girl's dream is to become a succubus,
the legitimate ones have to find legitimate work too.
So was it you? Everyone thought you were my sister,

except your parents, of course; and thank goodness for that.
Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to take you home
and let you steal so much of my soul. -- Would get rid of soul and show what a soul is in images or make her steal something tangible.
Something your boyfriend has never had to offer.
I would suggest not using grand abstractions like soul, but you had some good line breaks in this one. Nicely done.
