languishes

deteriorate dwindle fail faint rot suffer weaken wither

brood decline desire despond ebb fade fag flag grieve hanker hunger long pine repine sicken sigh snivel sorrow tucker waste wilt yearn

be disregarded be neglected conk out die on vine fag out fizzle out go soft go to pieces knock out waste away

build develop grow

be happy delight despise dislike hate improve increase rise strengthen

flourish
