lift something away

One looked as if her skin had been lifted away.

Her pain lifted away, and she no longer wanted to kill him.

She found the catch, and a whole section of the board floor lifted away.

But whatever still lay heavy on his mind must be lifted away.

Then the boat lifted away and settled on the far side of the river.

All his cares seemed to have lifted away in this last hour.

He heard her draw breath, and the touch on his face lifted away.

But when he would have spoken to her, his red eyes lifted away and went distant.

It was a long time coming, but at last she lifted away and placed her small hands against his cheeks.

Even when the rod was lifted away, the pain remained.
