Upright meaning

Two of Swords is a pairing — two things weighed, balanced or held in tension, in the realm of thought, truth and conflict.

Reversed, Two of Swords turns that reading inward or awry: clarity clouded, or intellect used as a weapon. Read it as the same stage under strain — delayed, resisted, or overdone rather than simply cancelled.
