Hi, RBJ, I think some smoother punctuation (beware, I'm no expert) would help, and a few word changes suggested below.

Screaming, crying, crawling man
I took your nest because I can.
Her whispered whims no longer yours, Whim's would clear this line of its slight awkwardness.
She’s lost yet found; for I she chores. maybe: For me she chores.
Displaced, dismayed, I know your pain; Unsure if semicolon is right here, maybe an em dash.
Deserved. I’d do the same again.
The hand you dealt her, boastful, vain, Maybe a colon after her, semi after vain.
You wronged her, conned her, yanked your chain.
She wondered, wandered, waning, sane.
Your loss you caused. I made my gain. maybe: You caused your loss, I made my gain.
But no, a cuckoo I am not But I'm no cuckoo in your spot,
No chicks were slain, nor laid to rot. no comma after slain.
