standing there in the spring like a row of corn
from a memory of that autumn day
you didn't come to see me on our birthday.

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; -maybe removing the word "grocery" would sound better
I guess when every girl's dream is to become a succubus,
the legitimate ones have to find legitimate work too. -use a word other than legitimate. It sounds off putting with the flow.
So was it you? Everyone thought you were my sister,

except your parents, of course; and thank goodness for that. -Capitalise 'E'
Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to take you home
and let you steal so much of my soul. -I have to agree with Brownlie that you have to get rid of "soul" and use imagery to show what that soul is to make the stealing more tangible
Something your boyfriend has never had to offer.
Impressive poem otherwise.
