shrivels

the flower shrivels without water.

his enthusiasm shrivels in the face of criticism.

the fruit shrivels when left out too long.

as winter approaches, the leaves shrivel and fall.

time shrivels our memories if we don't cherish them.

the excitement of the event shrivels as the date approaches.

her confidence shrivels during difficult conversations.

the old photograph shrivels and fades with age.

his dreams shrivel when faced with harsh realities.

the excitement in the room shrivels after the bad news.
