The Two of Swords is about choices -- being torn between two paths, or sometimes trying to find a neutral way between two extremes. The Six of Cups is nostalgia, innocence, cycles, learning from the past. Together -- if I'm honest, this strikes me as a parental bullshit-related reading. Either way, I'd say it represents a choice between reliving a cycle that you've outgrown, possibly to the point of causing you harm, or moving on; and/or, whether or not to do something again, despite the fact that past experience says it's a bad idea.
Traditionally, and in this deck as well, the Two of Swords is blindfolded. In this case, I think nostalgia, either the desire for things past to return or not be lost in the first place, is the blindfold -- either keeping you frozen, not making the decision for fear of what it'll mean, or else keeping you from seeing that one path is definitely better for you.
