i think it's prose like for the most part but an enjoyable to read.
i have very little constructive feedback to give because if it were altered too much it would lose it's coldness in the last stanza.
thanks for the read.

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;
I guess when every girl's dream is to become a succubus,

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.
Something your boyfriend has never had to offer.
